Conjugate delivery produced improved wound closure in S. aureus infected skin wounds. Wounds in both treated (A, B, C) and untreated (D, E, F) animals improved from 7 (A, D) to 14 (C, F) days, a time period sufficient for near-complete healing in uninfected animals (B, E are 10 days). Scabs formed shortly after wounding and sloughed off as healing progress. Eschar formation was more severe in untreated animals.
