Treatment of severe wound infections by phanorod-Zn, initiated early (L0 + L1) or delayed initiation on day 2 (L2 + L3). (a) Wound size over time; no data is available for the control group (no treatment) past day 2 due to 100% mortality. (b) Quantitative assessment of bacterial load (cfu) during treatment of severe wound infections, measured on days 2, 4, and 6. For delayed treatment (L2 + L3), samples on day 2 were taken without treatment. Error bars show standard deviation (n = 5 mice): *** indicates p < 0.001 (two-sided t test).
