Distinct Signature of Oxylipid Mediators of Inflammation during Infection and Asymptomatic Colonization by E. coli in the Urinary Bladder

Figure 3

Chemokine and cytokine secretion induced by uropathogenic and asymptomatic bacteriuric E. coli in mice. Levels of key chemokines and cytokines in mouse urine () were determined at 6 h (a) and 48 h (b) PI by a quantitative flow cytometry-based method, as described in the Materials and Methods. Bars represent mean, and error bars correspond to SEM. , ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test, compared to PBS. PBS, sham-inoculated control; CFT, uropathogenic strain CFT073; ABU, asymptomatic bacteriuric strain 83972; h PI, hour postinoculation.
