Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy in a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection Model

Figure 9

The expression of rhlI significantly differed between the two groups at days 2, 4, 6, and 8 (). In the control group, the expression of rhlI significantly increased at days 2, 4, 6, and 8 as compared with day 0 (). A significant decrease in the expression of rhlI was observed at day 4 () as compared with day 2, while it significantly increased at days 6 and 8 ( versus days 0 and 4). In the NPWT group, the expression of rhlI increased at day 2 ( versus day 0), significantly decreased at day 4 ( versus day 2), and significantly increased at day 8 ( versus days 0, 2, and 4). . Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (). NPWT, negative-pressure wound therapy.
