Table 1. Incidence of developing extraintestinal K. pneumoniae infection in diabetic and naïve mice.
Naïve mice (n=13) | Diabetic mice (n=10) | P-valueb | Odds ratio | 95% Confidence interval | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Liver | 4 (31%) | 8 (80%) | 0.036 | 9 | 1.285-63.025 |
Spleen | 4 (31%) | 5 (50%) | 0.417 | 2.3 | 0.407-12.439 |
Kidneys | 4 (31%) | 5 (50%) | 0.417 | 2.3 | 0.407-12.439 |
Blood | 2 (15%) | 5 (50%) | 0.169 | 5.5 | 0.782-38.698 |
Incidencea | 4 (31%) | 8 (80%) | 0.036 | 9 | 1.285-63.025 |
a Incidence of extraintestinal K. pneumoniae infection was calculated as the percentage of mice that had positive culture of K. pneumoniae yielded in any of the extraintestinal organs tested. b Differences between the naïve and diabetic groups were determined by Fisher’s exact test. Statistical significance was determined based on a two-tailed P value ≤ 0.05.
