Diagnosis and treatment of chronic osteomyelitis based on nanomaterials

Figure 4 Antibacterial effects of Fe₃O₄/carbon nanotube/Gent on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-infected osteomyelitis in vivo. A: Macro images of femur and tibia in each group of animal models 14 d after treatment. Scale bars = 1 cm; B: Wet-stained images, scale bars = 20 μm, 14 d after treatment; C: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus count in bone marrow of each group after 2 d of antibacterial treatment.
