Figure 2. The individualized interactive metabolome between UPEC and human urine was phenotyped and has the capacity to significantly distinguish UPEC from non-UPEC, as UPEC exerted a much stronger influence on the interactive metabolome in cultured human urine than non-UPEC.

(a) Score plot resulting from the PLS-DA analysis of the interactive metabolomes between the human urine that had been cultured with UPEC or non-UPEC and the pre-culture pooled human urine. (b) Heatmap visualizing the relative levels of the interactive metabolomes between the human urine that had been cultured with UPEC or non-UPEC and the pre-culture pooled human urine.
