Fig 1 The dendrogram and virtual banding patterns after repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR) showed that the inoculated Staphylococcus aureus (SA) strain (ATCC 29213) recovered from the specimens was the same as the strain in the initial inoculum.

Fig 2 Representative images of aortic specimens and adjacent graft material stained with (I) hematoxylin and eosin, (II) Movat pentachrome, and Gram stain. A and B, Images from pig 2 (group A) show a small cluster of gram-positive cocci and mild neutrophilic infiltration near the graft implantation site. C and D, Images from pig 4 (group B) show multiple clusters of gram-positive cocci (arrows) and abscess formation (asterisk). E and F, Images from pig 6 (group C) show negative Gram staining. Bar = 200 μm in B and F and 1 mm in D. Journal of Vascular Surgery , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2012 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

Fig 3 High-power magnification image (bar = 20 μm) shows dense clusters of gram-positive cocci in the perigraft tissue of pig 4 (group B). Journal of Vascular Surgery , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2012 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

Fig 4 Images of abscess formation in specimens from group B pigs. Low-power magnification of aortic specimens are shown from (A) pig 3 and (B) pig 4. Corresponding high-power magnification images of aortic specimens are shown from (C) pig 3 and (D) pig 4. C, Neutrophilic infiltration is seen surrounding a core of graft and gram-positive bacterial remnants (br). D, An accumulation of mostly dead neutrophils, fibrin, and loose connective tissue is shown. A large cluster of gram-positive cocci is seen in the upper left corner (bc). Bar = 2 mm in A and 100 μm in C. Journal of Vascular Surgery , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2012 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
