Extended Data Fig. 7: Neosporin treatment delays the wound closure rate, which is restored by re-colonizing mice with S.epidermidis or intradermal injection of IFN-α.

a, Photographs of skin wounds in untreated (vehicle), Neosporin-treated, Staphylococcus epidermidis-recolonized Neosporin-treated, and IFNα-intradermally injected Neosporin treated mice at the time of wounding (0) and everyday up to 6 days post-injury. b, Wound closure kinetics shown as percentages of initial wound size in the different mice groups as in (a). Data are the mean±SD of three mice per group are representative of 2 independent experiments. Scale bars are shown on images.
