Fig. 1 Distribution of virulence factor (VF) scores among 389 Escherichia coli isolates from men with cystitis or pyelonephritis and healthy controls. The coloured columns indicate, for each source group, the percentage of isolates (y-axis) with a given VF score (x-axis). Median VF scores (range), by group: fecal, 3 (0–13); cystitis 7 (1–14); pyelonephritis 9 (1–16). p values for fecal versus cystitis, fecal versus pyelonephritis, cystitis versus pyelonephritis: p ≤ 0.001 for all comparisons.
