CAI score in experimental groups (25 patients in each group) included in the study.
One way ANOVA test was performed (mean, SEM), comparing differences between the mean CAI score of the patients colonized with E. coli B2 phylogenetic group versus E. coli A, D, B1. There is a significant difference between CAI scores in the patients initially colonized with B2 E. coli and the patients colonized with E. coli A and D, pā<ā0.05*. However, the differences were not significant when comparing the CAI scores of patients initially colonized with E. coli B2 with patients colonized with E. coli B1.
