Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy in a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection Model

Figure 8

The expression of lasI significantly differed between the two groups at days 6 and 8 (). In the control group, the expression of lasI significantly increased at day 2 ( versus day 0), decreased at day 4 ( versus days 0 and 2), and then increased again at days 6 and 8 ( versus day 4), although it remained lower at days 6 and 8 than at day 0 ( versus day 0). In the NPWT group, the expression of lasI increased at day 2 ( versus day 0) and significantly decreased at days 4 ( versus days 0 and 2), 6, and 8 ( versus days 0, 2, and 4). . Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (). NPWT, negative-pressure wound therapy.
