Figures

FIG. 1.
FIG. 1.
IL-8 levels in urine from children with UTI caused by E. coli strains, in relation to the presence (n = 23) or absence (n = 57) of fluACFT073. Individual levels and medians are presented. The difference is significant (by the Mann-Whitney U test).
FIG. 2.
FIG. 2.
IL-8 levels in urine from children with UTI caused by E. coli strains carrying only fluACFT073 (n = 8) or only fluBCFT073 (n = 8). Individual levels and medians are presented. The difference is significant (by the Mann-Whitney U test).
