Morphological observations (40×) of Klebsiella pneumoniae-infected bMECs in presence of bacteriophages CM8-1 or SJT-2. A1-D1: Normal bMECs in the Control group at 2, 4, 6 and 8 h. A2-D2: Note damage to bMECs, including necrosis and swelling, shrinkage, loss of cell integrity, necrosis and heavy staining, and reductions in cell number at 2, 4, 6 and 8 h after infection in K. pneumoniae group. A3-D3 and A4-D4: Phages CM8-1 and SJT-2 mitigated cell damage caused by K. pneumoniae infection at 2, 4, 6 and 8 h in the K. pneumoniae + CM8-1 and K. pneumoniae + SJT-2 groups, respectively
