Coinfection with a clinical isolate and UTI89 altered the behavior of the bacteria. (A and B) rUTI1 (red) produced IBCs only when coinfected with UTI89 (green) and caused UTI89 to produce abnormally large IBCs (compare A to C). (C and D) acute4 (red) formed mixed IBCs with UTI89 (green), which also formed normal IBCs. (E and F) pyelo3 (red) formed large collections of filaments, induced UTI89 (green) to do the same, and prevented UTI89 IBCs. Bars, 10 μm.
