Bacterial colonization of the culture positive plates was evaluated using semi-quantitative analysis of bacterial colonization: 0 indicates no CFUs, 1 indicates one quadrant with CFUs, 2 indicates two quadrants with CFUs, 3 indicates three quadrants with CFUs and 4 indicates four quadrants with CFUs. Data represent positive culture plates out of six.
