All mice were assessed for the following parameters at the time of urine collection and euthanasia: bladder hematoma and/or blood in urine, kidney hematoma, kidney color change and/or mottling, and kidney stones. “Any abnormality” indicates whether at least one of these parameters was detected in a mouse. Data represent the number of mice positive for the above parameters out of the total number of mice infected for each strain during 24 h and 96 h of the standard CAUTI model and during 24 h of the precolonized CAUTI model, as well as a comparison of mice infected with the WT between the two models at 24 h. P values were determined by the chi-square test. N/A, not applicable.
