PB. I will attempt to answer, but you can be assured its not as good a followup as cacaito will provide.
According to the paper "many studies defining the therapeutic role for bpi during sepsis have been limited to acute studies or studies with very high bacterial load. In our study we used a less overwhelming bacteremia (2 logs less)" They used a hyperdynamic study approach
I believe to more closely mimic clinical sepsis.
Your other question , by what mechanism to reduce tnf etc....
IMO its prevention of lps-lbp from cd14 stimulation by bpi.

cacatio.please correct me or add comments as need be.
Thanks.
BTW-the paper claims that ultimately it IS the reduced bacteria. IMO
But think about what DOES actually get rid of LPS. (lbp probably)
Also IMO.
