Study groups and quantitative microbiological results of in vivo experiments.

Groups	Method of treatments	Quantitative graft culture (cfu/ml)
Group 1	No infection, control group	0.00±0.0
Group 2	Infection with MRSA, no antibiotic	5.7×104±1.49×104*
Group 3	Infection with MRSA, linezolid group	4.0×103±9.66×103**
Group 4	Infection with MRSA, vancomycin group	4.0×103±6.99×103**
Group 5	Infection with MRSA, teicoplanin group	0.00±0.0**

MRSA – Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Each group consisted of 10 animals. Statistical significance was evaluated by the use analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the log-transformed data by the Tukey significant difference test.
