摘要

The relative contributions of host resistance and bacterial virulence were analyzed in a mouse model for ascending urinary tract infection. The congenic mouse strains C3H/HeJ and C3H/HeN were used in parallel. They differ in their reactivity to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and susceptibility to experimental urinary tract infection. C3H/HeJ cells are susceptible to infection and are nonresponders to LPS (Lpsd Lpsd), whereas C3H/HeN cells respond to LPS and are resistant to infection (Lpsn Lpsn). The Escherichia coli pyelonephritis isolate GR-12, serotype O75K5, expressing adhesins specific for globoseries glycolipids (P fimbriae) and for mannosides (type-1 fimbriae), and its derivatives deficient in these factors were used, either singly or in combination, to establish experimental infections. In C3H/HeN mice, the relative persistence of E. coli was inversely proportional to its phagocytosis in vitro. Loss of the O75 and K5 antigens increased the tendency toward hydrophobic interaction, promoted phagocytosis, and reduced persistence in the kidneys. This was not the case in C3H/HeJ mice, in which O75- and K5- serotypes persisted in the same extent as did the parent strain. The total number of bacteria recovered from the kidneys of C3H/HeJ mice was about 1,000-fold higher than the number recovered from kidneys of C3H/HeN mice 24 h after infection. Previous studies have demonstrated a delayed influx of polymorphonuclear leukocytes into the urinary tracts of C3H/HeJ mice. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that phagocyte activation through LPS is a major defense mechanism against E. coli in the kidney, a property in which C3H/HeJ mice are deficient.
