(A) Blood agar plates of explanted titanium rods that were rolled down the center of the plate and streaked for qualitative analysis of device surface colonization. Each plate corresponds to one rabbit. Each white dot corresponds to a single CFU. Explants from the four day treatment group (top row) are compared to explants from the four day placebo group (bottom row). None of the sterile plates are depicted. (B) Explants from the seven day treatment group (top row) are compared to explants from the seven day placebo group (bottom row). (C) Final counts (Mean ± SD) of log-transformed Staphylococcus aureus CFU data in femoral condyles at day zero and after direct exchange. Raw data are available in Supplementary Table 2.
