Fig. 4: Both silvmeb and pseudomeb were effective against S. aureus infections in mice.

Silvmeb (a, b) or pesudomeb (a, c) was injected subcutaneously for 1 h after intraperitoneal administration of S. aureus USA300 into mice (n = 5). 30% solutol was used as the vehicle and vancomycin was used as the positive control.
