Table 3.
Bacterial burden in kidney tissue.
| Kidney | Untreated | Tramadol | Statistical comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| K. pneumoniae (ATCC 43816) | 3.21 ± 0.6 | 3.30 ± 1.4 | 0.9307 |
| E. coli (ATCC 25922) | 5.00 ± 0.2 | 5.04 ± 2.1 | > 0.9999 |
Median bacterial burden as well as standard deviation expressed as log10 cfu/g tissue in kidney for the untreated and the tramadol-treated group for K. pneumoniae ATCC 43816 and E. coli ATCC 25922. Statistical testing was performed using a Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. P values are indicated in the respective column.
