Fig. 3From: Multifunctional biomimetic hydrogel dressing provides anti-infection treatment and improves immunotherapy by reprogramming the infection-related wound microenvironmentResearch on the mechanism of in vitro antimicrobial action. (a) SEM images of bacteria colonies and morphology after treatment with various hydrogels. (b) Various hydrogels-induced membrane damage assessed from PI uptake. Leakage of cellular contents following exposure to different PADM-based hydrogels was examined by measuring the absorbance of extracellular material at (c) 260 nm (A260) and (d) 280 nm (A280), which correspond to nucleic acids and proteins, respectively. Results are presented as mean ± SD (N = 3). ****P < 0.0001Back to article page
