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

Figure 7

Effect of ciprofloxacin on bioluminescence development in the eschar of mice subjected to 9-second burn at 90°C followed by injection of Proteus mirabilis in the thigh. Three mice were subjected to 9-second burn at 90°C and injection of bioluminescent bacteria in the thigh. One mouse had ciprofloxacin injected into the abscess while a second mouse had the ciprofloxacin injected intraperioneally. 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.
