RNA-Seq Transcriptomic Responses of Full-Thickness Dermal Excision Wounds to Pseudomonas aeruginosa Acute and Biofilm Infection
Fig 3
Scanning electron micrographs of P. aeruginosa-infected and non-infected wounds.
The non-infected control wounds at (A) 2, (B) 6, and (C) 24 hrs after receiving PBS are void of bacteria. Bacteria are seen (pseudo-colored) in the infected wounds at (D) 2, (E) 6, (F) and 24 hrs, and (G) 5 and (H) 9 days post-infection. The red arrows show the area where the bacteria appeared to have penetrated into the tissue. All images were taken at 10K magnification (scale bar is 4 μm).
