CP1-infected B6 mice have elevated bladder collagen levels only at day 5 and similar levels of bladder inflammation. Collagen deposition levels in the bladders of control and CP1-infected B6 mice after 5 days (A), 14 days (B), and 35 days (C) analyzed by picrosirius staining. Days 5, 14, and 35 (D–F) control and CP1 (G–I) B6 mouse bladders stained with H&E. The experiment was performed with at least 4 mice per group. Results were analyzed for statistical significance by unpaired t-test. A P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant: **P < 0.01.
