Fig 1: Level of bacteriuria and inflammatory biomarkers during infection of pigs (n = 4). The infected pig bladders remain significantly colonized throughout the experiment (A). Within the first 24 h of infection, granulocytes are rapidly rising reaching maximum concentrations of 14.9 × 109/ml. Shortly after, a small drop in granulocyte level is observed though remaining elevated until termination of the experiment (B). CRP increases > 7-fold at 24 hpi (peak-value) and decrease linearly hereafter, reaching baseline values at 7 dpi (C). No observable change in levels of IL-6 was seen during infection (D). Graphs represent means ± standard error of the mean. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.001, one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Data from 7 days onward are based on two pigs only. CFU, colony forming units; IL-6, interleukin-6.
