(a) The uropathogenic microorganisms would reach the cytosol following adhering to an epithelial surface. (b) During the first 24 hours, intracellular microorganisms multiply fast. (c) As a result, the rate of growth slows and a protected biofilm matrix emerges. (d) The uropathogen can elude the immunological response of the host by changing its morphology. Aggregated uropathogens become motile and separate from the biofilm, allowing them to disseminate.
