Bacterial counts of Pseudomonas aeruginosa-infected porcine wounds. Effect of topically administered moxifloxacin and gentamicin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa wound infection. Reduction of the number of CFU below detectability was observed with the treatment groups compared to the carrier control during the entire time course. For both moxifloxacin and gentamicin treatments, the total bacterial counts within the tissue remained below the infection level (105 CFU/g of tissue) during the whole follow-up. Detection limit was 102 CFU/g of tissue. #, P < 0.001, 0.1% moxifloxacin and 0.3% gentamicin versus carrier control. The values are shown as mean ± SEM.
