(A–D) The matrix effect of urine on PMA crosslinking of DNA is not urea-based and is eliminated by centrifugation and resuspension in PBS. (A) CT values of PMA-treated and untreated samples of non-viable bacteria resuspended in mouse urine or PBS. (B) CT (and indicated dCT) values of nonviable bacteria resuspended in various dilutions of urine or PBS. (C) CT (and indicated dCT) values of non-viable bacteria treated with PMA in PBS or urea concentrations corresponding to human and mouse urine. (D) CT values of non-viable bacteria in urine with or without resuspending the contents in PBS before PMA treatment. Data shown is representative of three replicate experiments.
