immune system
• peritoneal macrophages exhibit reduced phagocytosis of uropathogenic Escherichia coli
|
• uropathogenic Escherichia coli-infected mice show higher polymorphonuclear leukocyte levels in the urine
|
• lower frequency in the bone marrow
|
• greater percentage in the peritoneum after thioglycollate stimulation
|
• in the T-independent assay
|
• in the T-independent assay
|
• in the T-independent assay
|
• uropathogenic Escherichia coli-infected mice show increased susceptibility to cystitis, with more severe inflammatory lesions with abundant neutrophil infiltration
|
• mice are more susceptible to infection with uropathogenic Escherichia coli cystitis isolate UT189, showing higher bacterial burden in the bladder at 24 hours post-infection, higher bacterial titers in urine by day 5 of infection, and prolonged bacterial persistence
• uropathogenic Escherichia coli-infected mice show more severe inflammatory lesions with abundant neutrophil infiltration and crypt abscess in bladder tissue, urothelial hyperplasia and remodeling
• however, uropathogenic Escherichia coli-infected mice show no difference in cytokine production in bladders and mice show decreased dissemination of bacteria to spleen and liver
