FIG. 3.

Therapeutic effect of HG1 on MRSA-infected ICR mice. (A) A full-thickness wound was created on the dorsal side of the mouse and infected via insertion of a white silk suture contaminated with MRSA; the wound was stitched up with black silk sutures. An arrow indicates the white silk suture exposed on the wound surface. (B) Skin biopsy specimens were obtained from the skin using a biopsy punch. Four circles indicate the punched-out sites. (C) Numbers of recovered MRSA were expressed in terms of CFU counts per milligram of tissue. All results are separately indicated. The mean value of the data for each group is shown as a horizontal bar.
