Cerium nitrate (CN) inhibits the proliferation and colonization of resident skin flora in burn skin. (A) Total bacterial CFU recovered from burn tissue at the indicated postoperative days (POD) was determined by serial dilution and plating on regular Trypticase soy blood agar. The data were transformed to log scale and then expressed as the mean ± SEM for three to nine rats per group (****P < .0001 burn + water vs. sham burn group; **P < .01 burn + CN vs. burn + water group; two-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons). (B) Total bacterial numbers were also determined by universal bacterial primers. The data were transformed to log scale and then expressed as the mean ± SEM for three to nine rats per group (****P < .0001 burn + water vs. sham burn group and burn + CN vs. burn + water group, respectively).
