Infection by gram-negative organisms via the biliary route results in greater mortality than portal venous infection.
Cholangitis requires bile duct obstruction and infection. Patients with cholangitis are often more affected than those with infections that reach the liver through the portal vein. We will attempt to study the influences of (i) route of entry and (ii) presence of bile duct obstruction on hepatic infection. C57BL/6 mice received injections of Escherichia coli or lipopolysaccharide into the obstr...

متن کاملThe route less taken: pulmonary models of enteric Gram-negative infection.
Many pathogens are capable of causing a fulminant infection in pulmonary tissues of mammals. Animal models have provided an extensive understanding of the genetic and molecular mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis as well as host immune response in the lungs. Many clinically relevant Gram-negative bacteria are host-restricted. Thus, the powerful, informative tools of mouse models are not availa...
متن کاملChanging Epidemiology of Gram-negative Infection
1. Evaluate the risk factors for gram-negative nosocomial infection and antimicrobial resistance for patients in the intensive care unit. 2. Apply your understanding of the mechanisms of resistance common to gram-negative bacteria in nosocomial disease, including extended-spectrum β-lactamase production, porin channel deletion or structural changes, and efflux pump expression, to empiric antibi...
