2. Fig. 1
This compares the area of bacterial inhibition on a blood agar plate as a function of time that the graft has been soaking in solution before testing. The curves for chloramphenicol palmitate bonded with collagen, amikacin bonded with collagen, rifampin in a blood preclot, and rifampin bonded to grafts with collagen are compared. The best and longest result occurred with rifampin bonded with collagen. This was statistically better and for a longer duration than the other two antibiotics bonded with collagen or rifampin mixed in a blood preclot.
