Recovered bacteria from a porcine skin infection model. The porcine skin was infected with a dual bacterial culture of Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii and treated with RQ hydrogel at 0, 6 and 12 h. Bacteria were recovered from the infected skin after incubation for 6, 12, and 24 h. The presented results are means ± SD from three independent experiments performed in triplicate, p < 0.05. RQ hydrogel; Rhodomyrtus tomentosa/Quercus infectoria extract-loaded hydrogel. Qi hydrogel; Quercus infectoria extract-loaded hydrogel.
