Fig. 8: Wound disinfection capability of HiZP on mouse model.

a Photographs of uninfected wounds and S. aureus-infected wounds treated with PBS, the free HRP/IAA system and HiZP. b Images of S. aureus colonies separated from the wound tissue plated on LB agar plates. c Number of surviving bacteria in the wound tissue of each sample. d Histological photomicrographs of skin tissue sections after H&E staining and Masson’s trichrome staining. Scale bars are 100 μm. The images are representatives of three independent experiments with similar results. Dada are presented as mean values ± SD (n = 3 independent experiments). Statistical significance was analyzed via one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test.
