FIG. 3.

Antibacterial efficacies of selected glycolipids in the Staphylococcus aureus thigh infection model. The antibacterial efficacies of glycolipids (150 μg/kg) that were administered by i.p. injection at 3 h postinfection were evaluated by image analyses of luminescent S. aureus Xen29. (A) Images of mice in different treatment groups taken 48 h after infection. (B) The relative luminescence unit (RLU) values of each mouse measured 48 h after infection were plotted as individual symbols, and the mean values for the treatment groups are shown with horizontal lines. *, P < 0.05.
