The Effect of Urine Concentration and pH on the Growth of <i>Escherichia Coli</i> in Canine Urine In Vitro

Abstract

Escherichia coli in vitro growth was higher in neutral to acidic and diluted urine compared to alkaline and concentrated urine. The impact of non-alkalizing diluting diets on the incidence of E. coli lower urinary tract infections should be further explored.
