Figure 5 Percentage of catheters cleared (A) and average Staphylococcus aureus colony (B) forming units per catheter for those retrieved from mice treated with 1A:1N and 2A:3N chitosan/polyethylene glycol paste variations and neutral 1% chitosan sponges over 48 h (n = 8, 2 catheters per mouse). All samples were loaded with either PBS alone or 4 mg/mL of vancomycin. aP < 0.05 vs all vancomycin samples. PBS: Phosphate buffered saline; CPP: Chitosan/polyethylene glycol paste.
