Number of initial MRSA CFU/mL counts by sampling location on rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in the main study before experiment. 1.0 × 102was the minimum detectable CFU count.
| Macaque no. | Avg. Cranial implant margina | Nasal | Perirectal |
| 1 (Treatment) | 2.17 × 106 | 1.0 × 102 | 1.0 × 102 |
| 2 (Treatment) | 5.98 × 105 | 2.0 × 105 | 1.0 × 102 |
| 3 (Control) | 2.10 × 106 | 2.0 × 102 | 4.0 × 102 |
| 4 (Control) | 8.74 X106 | 9.5 × 103 | 1.0 × 102 |

Cranial implant margin CFU count shown is the average of 4 margin quadrants sampled separately.
