Assessment of bacterial load by 16S qPCR. a Detection of bacterial DNA in water controls (NTC), blind samples (unused ureteral stents) and samples below and above the limit of detection (LOD). Each data point (open diamonds) represents a PCR reaction. b Samples (IDs indicated on y-axis) with evidence for biofilm bacteria. Grey bars indicate samples above the LOD, white bars those below. Error bars represent the standard deviation between three technical qPCR replicates. The table below illustrates indications for the presence of bacteria (black boxes) according to analyses by SEM, and bacterial cultivation from encrustation or urine samples
