摘要

We tested the hypothesis that experimental Proteus mirabilis urinary tract infection in mice would protect against homologous bladder rechallenge. Despite production of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM (median titers of 1:320 and 1:80, respectively), vaccinated (infected and antibiotic-cured) mice did not show a decrease in mortality upon rechallenge; the survivors experienced only modest protection from infection (mean log 10 number of CFU of P. mirabilis Nal r HI4320 per milliliter or gram in vaccinated mice versus sham-vaccinated mice: urine, 100-fold less 3.5 versus 5.5; P = 0.13; bladder, 100-fold less 3.1 versus 5.1; P = 0.066; kidneys, 40-fold less 2.7 versus 4.3; P = 0.016). Western blots using protein from the wild-type strain and isogenic mutants demonstrated antibody responses to MR/P and PMF fimbriae and flagella. There was no correlation between serum IgG or IgM levels and protection from mortality or infection. There was a trend toward elevated serum IgA titers and protection from subsequent challenge ( P ≥ 0.09), although only a few mice developed significant serum IgA levels. We conclude that prior infection with P. mirabilis does not protect significantly against homologous challenge.
