(b) Infrared thermal images of mice after different treatments under NIR irradiation (808 nm, 2.0 W cm−2, 0–7 min). (c) Wound photographs of mice after different treatments at varying treatment times and photographs of bacterial colonies after 10 days of treatment. (d) Quantitative statistics of corresponding wound areas of infected mice after different treatments. (e) Quantitative statistics of bacterial colonies through standard plate counting assay (n = 3). ∗∗∗P < 0.001.
