The in vivo antimicrobial activity of CERI in a subcutaneous abscess mouse model. A Photographs of subcutaneous abscesses in the vehicle- and CERI-treated groups on the third day post-treatment. Red arrows indicate the boundary of the abscess. B H&E staining of abscess tissues treated with vehicle or CERI. Scale bars, 200 μm. C Abscess area quantification post infection. D Bacterial load quantification in the abscess. Each group has six mice. The assays were repeated three times independently, and the results were presented as mean ± SD. Results were considered significant when *P < 0.05
