We nextused a well-established murine model of P. aeruginosa keratitis to test the efficacy of PMB-M13αLPS treatment.The corneal epithelium of C57Bl/6 mice were abraded, and 5 ×104 CFU of a P. aeruginosa strain expressing Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), PAO1-GFP, wasadded topically to the ocular surface. Here, SMOX is linked to keratitis.
