Figure Lengend Snippet: Detection of cathelicidin (LL-37) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in human urine samples. Protein concentrations in human urine samples were detected by ELISA. The samples were analyzed in a microplate reader. Bar represents mean ± SD of each group. Protein levels were compared across groups (A, C) and subgroups (B, D). (A, C) LL-37 and MPO concentrations are higher in infected (Group A and B) than in healthy urines (Control). (B, D) No difference in protein concentrations was found when comparing the subgroups of Group A. ****p < 0.0001.
