Systematic evaluation of the antibacterial effect of Ti-Ga alloys in vivo using the subcutaneous implant-related S. aureus infection model. (A) Schematic depicting the treatment regime. (B) Representative images of bioluminescence of the S. aureus-infected mice at different time points using an IVIS system. (C) Bacterial burden on the surface of alloys on days 7 and 14 was measured using the dilution coating plate method. (D) Quantitative analysis results of bacterial burden on day 7 of different groups. (E) Quantitative analysis results of bacterial burden on day 14 of different groups. (F) CLSM and SEM images of extracted alloys to characterize bacteria biofilm
