^aMeans ± st.dev. of staphylococcal load as Log₁₀CFU g⁻¹ in homogenized renal tissues 10 days after infection in cohorts of 6 BALB/c mice per group. A representative of two independent animal experiments is shown.

^bStatistical significance was calculated with the unpaired two-tailed Students t test and P-values were recorded.
