Partial purification and characterization of antibacterial components of MAE. (A) UV absorption characteristics of the various components. (B) Antibacterial tests. Various components (P1-P7) were tested on Escherichia coli (dose, 50 µg/ml). The antibacterial activity of P2 and P6 is presented. (C) SDS-PAGE analysis of the different components. Lane 1, P1; lane 2, P2; lane 3, P3; lane 4, P4; lane 5, P5; lane 6, P6; lane 7, P7. (D) Effects of MAE P1-P7 on hydroxyproline levels in the burn wound model. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. ##P<0.05 vs. the control group, **P<0.05 vs. the model group. MAE, aqueous extract of maggots.
