Influence of numbers of bacteria used for infection on the loss of body weight. Bacteria in the logarithmic growth phase were harvested, and their concentration was adjusted to OD600’s of 0.01, 0.10, and 1.00 (0 to ~108 CFU/mL). SKH1 mice were wounded twice dorsally with a 5 mm biopsy punch and subsequently infected with 10 μL of S. aureus Newman in the three mentioned concentrations or sham-infected (OD600 of 0.00). Both wounds of each mouse were treated identically. Two days after infection, the loss of body weight (of a total of 43 animals) compared to the weight on day 0 was determined.
