Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy in a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection Model

Figure 10

The number of viable bacteria significantly differed between the two groups at days 4, 6, and 8 (). In the control group, the viable bacterial count significantly decreased at days 2 ( versus day 0), 4 ( versus day 0), 6 ( versus days 0 and 2), and 8 ( versus days 0, 2, 4, and 6). In the NPWT group, the viable bacterial count significantly decreased at days 2 ( versus day 0), 4 ( versus days 0 and 2), 6 ( versus days 0 and 2), and 8 ( versus days 0, 2, 4, and 6). . Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (). NPWT, negative-pressure wound therapy.
