A Staphylococcus aureus (log10 CFU) recovered from bone tissue and implant surface. Normalized bioburden (# CFU/g sample), represented as individual values, within both the bone and implant of the FK506 group, are statistically greater than the bacteria recovered from the vehicle control animals, p = 0.0045 and p = 0.043, respectively. B The infection rate within the bone tissue and on implants of animals that received the vehicle control or FK506 therapy. There are no differences in infection rate between groups in the bone samples (p = 0.17). There are differences in infection rate on the implant between the vehicle control and the FK506 treated animals (*,p < 0.043)
