GI: wounded rats treated with normal saline; GII: wounded rats treated with DEEL; GIII: wounded rats infected with MRSA; GIV = wounded rats infected with MRSA and treated with DEEL; X−: mean value; SD: standard deviation; significance: (p-value ≤ 0.001). P1: group 2 compared to control; P2: group 3 compared to control; P3: group 4 compared to control; P4: group 4 compared to group 3.
