UPEC virulence factors associated with IL-1β release. Neutrophils were infected with UPEC strain CFT073, CFT073Δpap, CFT073ΔfimH, CFT073ΔTcpC or CFT073ΔhlyA at MOI 1 (A,B) or MOI 10 (C,D) for 3 h (A,C) and 6 h (B,D) followed by analysis of IL-1β release. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3 independent experiments). Asterisks over bars denote statistical significance compared to respective unstimulated control (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001).
