Caption

MMP-9 expression in M. mycetomatis (A), S. somaliensis (B) and A. 639 pelletieri (C). Stromal expression (i.e. connective tissue parenchymal) of MMP-9 640 was negative in all the areas which contained thick bundles of collagen fibers 641 (arrow head) (X 10). This figure is composed of representative pictures from 642 single patients. Differences among individual patients were noted, however we 643 chose pictures which correlated with the majority of each group of patients.
