Mouse model of S. aureus CAUTI. MRSA 1369 (A), PUTS-1 (B), and TOP6-555 (C) all require an implant to colonize bladders (circles) and kidneys (squares), and all implants (Xs) are colonized at 24 h post infection (hpi). Open and closed symbols denote nonimplanted mice and mice that retained the implant, respectively. Statistical significance was assessed using the Mann–Whitney U test, *P < 0.01, **P < 0.001.
