Figure 6. A. baumannii isolates from injured ischemic tissues have higher virulence phenotype.

Figure 6

(A), Smooth A. baumannii morphotype colonies isolated from abscess-negative wounds (1mm size bar). (B), Rough A. baumannii morphotype isolated from abscess-positive wounds (1mm size bar). (C) Magnification of a rough colony. (D), Kaplan-Meier survival curves of G. mellonella injected with smooth and rough morphotype colonies. Control larvae were not injected with any solution. Saline group larvae served as negative control in which the injection of 10 μl of sterile saline solution was performed (n=30, P <0.05 comparing mortality induced by smooth vs. rough morphotypes).
