Figure 5. Distribution of bacteria recovered from unmodified and charge modified implants following infection.

Figure 5

Following 2 weeks of infection, the tissue overlying the screws was harvested, homogenized in Luria Bertani broth, and plated onto LB-agar plates to allow enumeration of colony forming units. Median colony forming units are depicted by the horizontal bar in within each column and error bars indicated the standard deviation. The star around 1000 CFU/mg in the positive group represents an outlier. The results shown are representative of multiple animals done in three independent experiments.
