S. aureus viable counts in burn wounds incubated with PBS, F-1 or F-2 HCT hydrogels. After 1 h incubation, light dose of 100 J·cm−2 were applied to the burn wounds. After PDI, HCT hydrogel was maintained in the wounds for another 2 h incubation and then plate count. Reported values are the means values ± SD. * p < 0.05.
