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.
