(a). Treatment with ebselen 1% and lipoderm (negative control) twice daily for 5 days (b). Statistical analysis was calculated by the two-tailed Student t test. P values of (*P ≤0.05) (**P ≤0.01) are considered as significant. (#). Detailed P values are listed: (a): Control vs 2% linezolid, 0.0038; Control vs 2% mupirocin, 0.0020; Control vs 1% ebselen, 0.0337; Control vs 2% ebselen, 0.0032. (b): Control vs 1% ebselen, 0.0280.
