Platelet counts following exposure to Staphylococcus strains. After a 30-min exposure to the staphylococcal strains, TRAP (as a positive control) or Tyrode’s buffer (as a negative control, NS), platelet counts were assessed with a MS4s Hematology analyzer [Tyrode (n = 42), TRAP (n = 40) or Staphylococcus strains: clinical strains (SaB), S. condimenti (Sc) or S. aureus ATCC 43866 (ATCC43866)] (n = 12). The data (mean ± SEM) are expressed as the platelet count × 106/ml ****p < 0.0001 (one-way ANOVA with repeated measures and the Bonferroni post hoc test; stimulated vs. unstimulated, NS).
