The bactericidal effect of the TA2-nHP66 scaffold biomaterial in experimental osteomyelitis.

(a) Comparison of the bactericidal effects of three different treatments of the experimental osteomyelitis. “**”p < 0.001. (b) Antibacterial effect of the retrieved implant (TA2-nHP66 scaffold material at 8 weeks) on agar plates inoculated with S. aureus ATCC25923 for 48 h. (c,d) SEM of the retrieved implants of the control group (nHP66 scaffold, c) and the experimental group (TA2-nHP66 scaffold, d), which were removed under aseptic conditions at 8 weeks after debridement. Representative results are shown.
