Figure 3. Microbial manipulation does not alter mechanical bone properties.
Analysis of tibia mechanical properties from mice described in figure 2 were performed by four-point bending test. A) Structural levels properties. B) Tissue level properties. Values represent mean ± standard error. n= 12–18 per group. C: control, Post-ABX: antibiotic treated for 2 weeks followed by 4 weeks of no treatment. WT: wild type, KO: Rag2 KO.
