CFU counting after local injection of tranexamic acid on Staphylococcus aureus PJI mouse model. (a, b) The bacterial CFU of PJI mice with a single local injection of tranexamic acid in periprosthetic tissue (Figure 2(a)) and implants (Figure 2(b)) after 3 and 7 days. (c) The bacterial CFU of periprosthetic tissue after continuous local injection of tranexamic acid for 3 days. (d) The bacterial CFU of implants after continuous local injection of tranexamic acid for 3 days. ; error bars represent standard deviations.
