Fig. 3 — Graph showing that beta-haemolysin (Hlb) and gamma-haemolysin (Hlg) had a negligible effect on in situ chondrocyte viability. Osteochondral explants cultured in the presence of the Hla^-Hlb^-Hlg^-, Hla^-Hlb⁺Hlg⁺, and Hla^-Hlb^-Hlg⁺ strains exhibited minimal chondrocyte death at each timepoint (N = 4 (n = 8); p-values are shown from one-way analysis of variance; *p < 0.05 vs Hla^-Hlb^-Hlg^- strain by post hoc Dunnett’s test). The confocal laser-scanning microscopy images show examples of the chondrocyte death induced by each strain at 40 hours.
