From: Elongation factor Tu on Escherichia coli isolated from urine of kidney stone patients promotes calcium oxalate crystal growth and aggregation

Figure 6

Effect of OMVs derived from EUK (without or with anti-EF-Tu antibody neutralization) on CaOx crystal growth as determined by spectrophotometric oxalate-depletion assay. % CaOx crystal growth promotion = [(C − T)]/C × 100, where C was the rate of free oxalate depletion in the blank control and T was the rate of free oxalate depletion under each of the OMVs conditions tested. Each bar represented mean ± SEM of the data obtained from three independent experiments.
