Assessment of the biofilm-dispersion activity of electrospun nanofibers in vivo. (A) Illustration of the biofilm-dispersion assay. (B and C) SEM observation of the remaining biofilm (ATCC 43300) on skin wounds when cultured with the electrospun sustained-release nanosystems at preset time points. White arrows indicate the bacteria remaining in the skinfolds. (D and E) Bacterial colonization in the skin tissues on days 1 and 3. n = 5, *P < 0.05 TTO-NL@PCS vs TTO@PCS, #P < 0.05 TTO@PCS vs NC, n.s. = no significance PCS vs NC.
