Survival curves of mice infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAK. C57Bl/6j mice were instilled with 5 mg/kg (100 μg/mice) of SiO2 NPs or vehicle. 5 h after, mice were infected with P. aeruginosa (PAK strain) (2x107 CFU/mice) and survival was followed over time. (*) p < 0.05 Log-Rank (Mantel-Cox) test (n = 10 mice per group).
