Increased Susceptibility of Mice Infected with Mouse Adenovirus to Escherichia Coli-induced Pyelonephritis
نویسنده
چکیده
Mouse adenovirus causes a persistent infection in the mouse kidney that produces extensive mononuclear cell infiltrates in cortex and medulla. Tubular necrosis, dilatation, and occasional collapse occur but no glomerular changes or periglomerular fibrosis have been observed. Acute and chronic adenovirus infection of the kidney predispose the kidney to develop acute pyelonephritis when the mouse is challenged by the intravenous or retrograde route with Escherichia coli.

Experimental gestational pyelonephritis induces preterm births and low birth weights in C3H/HeJ mice.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are associated with approximately 27% of premature births. Escherichia coli is the most frequent causal agent of UTIs and expresses virulence factors, including surface adhesins that recognize specific host tissue receptors. We have reported that E. coli Dr adhesin recognizes decay-accelerating factor as the host tissue receptor and that these receptors are incre...
متن کاملOptimization condition in labeling of Ofloxacin with 99mTc and its biological evaluation in Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli for infection imaging
Introduction: The use of radiopharmaceuticals is a powerful tool in the management of patients with infectious or inflammatory diseases in nuclear medicine. In this study ofloxacin as a second-generation fluoroquinolone is used to design a desired infection imaging agent after labeling with 99mTc via direct labeling. Methods: Ofloxacin was radiolabeled with 99mTc using di...
متن کاملExperimental pyelonephritis. XVII. Enhancement of pyelonephritis by water diuresis following direct inoculation of E. coli in the renal medulla of the rat.
Recently, water diuresis has been shown to promote chronic Escherichia coli bacteriuria following the injection of bacteria into the bladder lumen of rats with normal urinary systems(l). However, maintenance of bacteriuria for periods up to 56 days has not resulted in renal lesions(l,2). Similar effects of water diuresis on bacteriuria have been observed in mice. In this species, however, sever...
متن کاملP2X1, P2X4, and P2X7 Receptor Knock Out Mice Expose Differential Outcome of Sepsis Induced by α-Haemolysin Producing Escherichia coli
α-haemolysin (HlyA)-producing Escherichia coli commonly inflict severe urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis, which comprises substantial risk for sepsis. In vitro, the cytolytic effect of HlyA is mainly mediated by ATP release through the HlyA pore and subsequent P2X1/P2X7 receptor activation. This amplification of the lytic process is not unique to HlyA but is observed by many ot...
متن کاملInheritance of susceptibility to induced Escherichia coli bladder and kidney infections in female C3H/HeJ mice.
In the present study, the inheritance of resistance and susceptibility to bladder and kidney infections in BALB/c, C3H/HeJ, F(1), and backcross mice was investigated, and the number of genes contributing to the phenotypes was estimated. Infections were induced in female mice by intravesical inoculation with Escherichia coli, and the number of bacteria in bladder and kidneys was quantified at 10...
