From: Specific egg yolk antibody raised to biofilm associated protein (Bap) is protective against murine pneumonia caused by Acinetobacter baumannii

Bacterial load per gram spleen or lung tissue 16 h after challenge. The bacterial load was 2 log10 CFU/g less than the control group, and 1 log10 CFU/g less than the IgY-C group after 16 h. A significant difference (p < 0.0001) was observed between the IgY-Bap group and control bacteria group as well as the IgY-C group 16 h after the challenge. Such difference was also observed between the IgY-C group and the bacteria group (p < 0.0001). Control: The group without any treatment before infection. IgY-C: the group receiving control IgY antibody 1 h before inoculation with live bacterial suspension. IgY-Bap: the group receiving IgY-Bap antibody 1 h before inoculation. IgY-C: the group receiving only control IgY-C antibody 1 h before inoculation. Control Bacteria group: The group without any treatment before inoculation (****p < 0.0001).
