Measurements of planktonic bacteria-inoculated wounds over the course of the monitoring period. Each section of a pig back and its treatment regimen (see Fig. 2) is represented individually and in comparison on a collective graph. Data showed that wounds treated with IV antibiotics closed at the slowest rate. Wound diameters in Pigs 1, 2 & 4 varied slightly from Weeks 1–3, but were similar by the endpoint.
