Monomicrobial contamination: log 10 CFU of bacteria recovered from infected defects
Bacterial inoculum log CFUs | 2 weeks | 4 weeks | 8 weeks |
---|---|---|---|
8 (tracheal isolate) | 4.3 ± 1.5 (n = 5) |
4.7 ± 0.9 (n = 4*) |
3.4 ± 3.1 (n = 5) |
8 (bone isolate) | 4.1 ± 1 (n = 5) |
4.8 ± 0.6 (n = 5) |
1.4 ± 2.2 (n = 5) |
Data shown as mean ± standard deviation of the mean; *one rat contaminated with another type of bacteria with no A. baumannii isolated.
