Generalized transduction in Corynebacterium renale.

Three types of Corynebacterium renale classified by precipitin reactions in gels.

Corynebacterium renale, Phage-types and their epidemiological significance.

Comparison of experimental infection in mice of Corynebacterium renale piliated and non-piliated clones.

Influence of iron on Corynebacterium renale-induced pyelonephritis in a rat experimental model.

Growth of Corynebacterium renale in vitro on low-iron medium (1.34 micron) was only slightly less than that on high-iron media (7.16 and 9.85 micron). However, studies on C. renale-induced pyelonephritis using the rat as an experimental model revealed that C. renale cultivated in high-iron media was capable of producing pyelonephritis, but when grown on low-iron medium, these bacteria were noni...

Experimental Rat model for Corynebacterium renale-induced pyelonephritis.

The laboratory rat was able to serve as a model for ascending pyelonephritis after implantation of a zinc disk coated with Corynebacterium renale into the urinary bladder because it satisfied three different criteria for infection. The production of an alkaline urine and the presence of significant numbers of C. renale in the kidneys, as well as distinct pyelonephritic lesions as revealed by hi...
