Biocompatibility of dynamic covalent polymeric antimicrobials. (A) Cell cytotoxicity of NIH3T3 cells after treatment with PM@Van, PM@Cur, and PM@Van@Cur. (B) Hemolysis analysis of PM@Van, PM@Cur, and PM@Van@Cur at different concentrations. Erythrocytes incubated with PBS and 0.1% (by volume) Triton X‐100 in PBS buffer were served as negative (−) and positive (+) controls, respectively. (C) Micrograph of erythrocytes harvested after hemolysis assay with different groups. (D) Major blood parameters of mice treated with PBS, PM@Van, PM@Cur, and PM@Van@Cur. Blood samples were taken on days 1 and 7 after the corresponding treatment. Error bars denote SD over six mice in each group
