FIG 9.

(A) Colonization in the murine UTI model demonstrates significantly higher recovery of ABSA 1014 than of UPSA 807 (*, P = 0.004, Mann-Whitney U test, based on non-normally distributed data according to Shapiro-Wilk test; bars represent medians and show interquartile ranges). (B) Significantly higher recovery of WT ABSA 834 than of ABSA 834ΔmaeE is shown (*, P = 0.042, independent-sample t test, normally distributed data according to Shapiro-Wilk test; bars represent means ± standard errors of the means). Data are presented as pooled results of two independent experiments each containing 8 to 10 mice per group. The limit of detection of the assay was 50 CFU ml⁻¹ for bladder homogenates.
