Figure 3
Effect of S. aureus 8325–4 strain on the trabecular bone in vivo 14 days after infection. A prolonged infection was performed for 14 days with the same conditions as in Fig. 6 (PBS, n = 3; 8325–4, n = 6; 8325–4∆fnbAB, n = 6). After microtomography and 3D reconstruction, the following parameters were quantified: bone mineral content in mg (A), bone mineral density in mg/cm3 (B), trabeculae number in the ROI (C), space between the trabeculae in pixels (D) and trabecular bone thickness in pixels (E). * means P < 0.05.
