Grouping of mice for assay of in vivo functionalised catheter efficacy

S. no.	Batch	Treatment
1.	T1	Control: Mice without any catheter insertion
2.	T2	Catheter control: Mice catheterised with unfunctionalised catheter without E. coli
3.	T3	Uropathogenic E. coli control: Mice catheterised with unfunctionalised catheter inoculated with E. coli
4.	T4	Antiseptic control (chlorhexidine gluconate – 0.25%): Mice catheterised with catheters dipped in antiseptic solution and inoculated with E. coli
5.	T5	SNP control: Mice catheterised with catheters functionalised with SNPs and inoculated with E. coli
6.	T6	Antibiotic control: Mice catheterised with catheters functionalised with a mixture of antibiotics and inoculated with E. coli
7.	T7	Synergistic combination: Mice catheterised with catheters functionalised with a mixture of SNP and antibiotics and inoculated with E. coli
