UTI89 filament reversal to rod-shaped bacteria. (A) A filament adhering to a PD07i cell undergoes reversal. (B) Reversal of a harvested filament. (C) Time course measurements of FSC-A values of three samples exhibiting different initial degrees of filamentation. The samples were harvested after secondary surface colonization in urine specimens with the USG values indicated in the graph. (D) Histogram overlay showing the time-dependent shift in FSC-A of the sample with highest initial FSC-A value from the experiment in which the urine with USG = 1.0252 was used. Pink, red, green, and blue histograms in the overlay refer to time points 0, 30, 60, and 90 min after harvest.
