Figure 1

S. aureus triggers profound alterations in bone remodeling during osteomyelitis (left image). Cassat et al. (2013) created imaging analysis algorithms to precisely quantify pathologic new bone formation (green) and cortical bone destruction (yellow), enabling comparison of the destructive capacity of different staphylococcal strains.
