Summary
Animals models have been developed which seek to 1) investigate skin colonization with pathogens 2) mimic skin and wound infections 3) provide a mechanism for the study of virulence determinants in the infectious process 4) determine the efficacy of anti-infective agents and 5) investigate pathogens under in vivo conditions.
