FIG. 1.
(A) Growth of ABU E. coli 83972 and UPEC strains 536, CFT073, NU14, and 1177 in human urine. The curves are shown as means of triplicates, and error bars indicate standard deviations (σn−1). (B) The doubling time during exponential phase for each strain was calculated and is shown as the mean of triplicates. Bars indicate standard deviations. (C) Competition experiment between 83972 and NU14 mixed 1:1 at the starting point in human urine. Values are means of duplicates, and error bars indicate standard deviations.
