Gram-Negative Bacterial Infection in Thigh Abscess Can Migrate to Distant Burn Depending on Burn Depth

Figure 6

Time course of bioluminescence in a mouse subjected to 9-second burn followed by injection of P. aeruginosa in the thigh. Mice were subjected to a 9-second burn, infected in the thigh with P. aeruginosa and imaged 3, 7, 9, and 24 hours later. The scale of pseudocolor indicates the intensity of the bioluminescence, with the higher numbers and pink color corresponding to the highest level of bioluminescence and the lowest numbers and purple color corresponding to the lowest level of bioluminescence.
