(A) Representative successive bioluminescence images from days 0–3 of mice with Pseudomonas aeruginosa-infected burns with no treatment, treated with silver dressing and treated with chitosan acetate bandage. The inset at day 3 in silver dressing burn shows the bioluminescence signal after the dressing was removed from a dead mouse. (B) Survival curves of mice with P. aeruginosa-infected burns treated with chitosan acetate bandage (n = 15), silver dressing (n = 11) or no treatment (n = 15). (C) Survival curves of mice with Proteus mirabilis-infected burn treated with chitosan acetate bandage (n = 12), silver dressing (n = 8) or no treatment (n = 13).
