Figure Lengend Snippet: Whole-genome sequencing reveals disparities between the Newman/Newman D2C derivatives in stock at the Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene (Homburg, Germany) and published Newman/Newman D2C reference genomes. A visualization of S. aureus Newman/Newman D2C genetic diversity is shown on a circular map of the chromosome of Newman UoM ( LT598688.1 ). The first ring from the outside shows the scale of the chromosome in kilobases (kb). The second ring indicates the positions of mutated genes in the genome (gray). The next five circles illustrate the five genomes used in this study (Newman D2C HOM [ CP160002.1 ], Newman D2C [ CP023391.1 ], Newman [ AP009351.1 ], Newman HOM [ CP160003.1 ], Newman UoM [ NZ_LT598688.1 ]). The colored tiles inside each circle represent the positions of mutations within each respective genome.

Differences in PIA contents are given as relative light units (RFUs). Results represent the averages of five to nine independent experiments done in duplicate. Error bars indicate the standard deviation of the mean. Round symbols indicate the mean A 530 /%/RFU values of individual experiments. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01 (Kruskal–Wallis test and Dunn’s multiple comparison test).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Infectivity of S. aureus strains Newman HOM and Newman D2C HOM in a murine foreign body-related infection model. Sterile polyurethane-based peripheral venous catheter tubing fragments were implanted subcutaneously into the left and right flanks of normoglycemic C57BL/6 mice ( n = 5 per group) and inoculated with cells of S. aureus strain Newman HOM (orange symbols) and Newman D2C HOM (turquoise symbols), respectively. Mice with uninfected implants served as controls (white symbols). On day 10 after infection, animals were euthanized, edema sizes around the insertion site were determined, blood was taken, and the catheter fragments and the surrounding tissues (peri-implant tissues) were removed and separated. Bacteria adherent to the catheters were detached by sonication in saline, and tissue samples were homogenized in saline. Bacterial loads from catheter-detached biofilms ( a ) and in peri-implant tissue homogenates ( b ) were determined by CFU counting. Edema endpoints at day 10 post-infection are depicted in ( c ), and neutrophil numbers observed in the blood are depicted in ( d ). Each symbol represents an individual infection site, and horizontal bars indicate the median of all observations. ns, not significant; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01 (Kruskal–Wallis test and Dunn’s multiple comparison test).
