Streptozocin-induced diabetic mouse model of urinary tract infection.
Diabetics have a higher incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI), are infected with a broader range of uropathogens, and more commonly develop serious UTI sequelae than nondiabetics. To better study UTI in the diabetic host, we created and characterized a murine model of diabetic UTI using the pancreatic islet beta-cell toxin streptozocin in C3H/HeN, C3H/HeJ, and C57BL/6 mouse backgrounds. In...
متن کاملReflux in the mouse model of urinary tract infection.
Two studies recently published in Infection and Immunity involved a mouse model of ascending urinary tract infection (UTI) (1, 6). The inoculation conditions used in both studies, i.e., 20 to 50 ml of bacterial suspension inoculated into the bladder, had been found in a previous study from the same laboratory to produce immediate vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in a substantial proportion of mice (...

متن کاملAsymptomatic Urinary Tract Infection in Pregnant Women
Background and Objectives: Urinary tract infection is one of the most common bacterial infections in the human population, and more frequent infection during pregnancy.

متن کاملMouse Model of Respiratory Tract Infection Induced by Waddlia chondrophila
Waddlia chondrophila, an obligate intracellular bacterium belonging to the Chlamydiales order, is considered as an emerging pathogen. Some clinical studies highlighted a possible role of W. chondrophila in bronchiolitis, pneumonia and miscarriage. This pathogenic potential is further supported by the ability of W. chondrophila to infect and replicate within human pneumocytes, macrophages and en...
