此影片将展示transurethrally诱导小鼠尿路感染及造成的感染程度量化的方法。

Abstract

生长在琼脂利益肾盂肾炎的菌株。一般而言,肾盂肾炎<em> E。大肠杆菌</em>(统一企业)和其他菌株可过夜卢里亚Bertani(LB)琼脂在37 °环境空气中的C。 UPEC菌株的增长为黄白色半透明的菌落,LB琼脂。适当的菌落形态的确认,然后挑单菌落,在肉汤培养。 LB肉汤可用于大多数肾盂肾炎的菌株。可以采用双串口,一夜之间LB培养基培养,以提高I型菌毛,定义为肾盂肾炎细菌致病因子的表达。肉汤培养物稀释至所需浓度的磷酸盐缓冲液(PBS)。 8至12周龄雌性小鼠被放置在异氟醚麻醉和transurethrally用聚乙烯管材覆盖30个计注射器的细菌接种。典型的接种,必须凭经验确定每个细菌/小鼠品系的组合,是10<sup> 6</sup>到10<sup> 8</sup> CFU每鼠标在10至50微升的PBS。 (有一天至数周),尿液样本及膀胱和两个肾脏所需的感染期后收获。各器官剁碎,置于PBS中,并在一个蓝色的子弹匀浆器匀浆。在PBS系列稀释尿液和组织匀浆,并在适当的琼脂培养。翌日,菌落形成单位计数。

Protocol

一,准备尿道导管对于每个鼠标膀胱和肾脏进行采样,5-6不锈钢珠(膀胱,1.6毫米大小0.9-2.0毫米混合)或氧化锆珠(肾,0.5毫米大小),分别放置在一个离心管管。高压灭菌的含珠管。 管冷却至室温后,加入200微升无菌PBS,每个不锈钢含珠管和400微升无菌PBS每个氧化锆珠含管。 我们准备由红,侯德群13所述的尿道导管。高压灭菌一双干净的平头镊子和剪刀(光圈或?…

Discussion

经尿道的细菌接种的小鼠泌尿道感染的感应,是一个历史悠久但技术要求高的程序11。红和侯德群最近发表的鼠标尿路感染13经尿道前列腺电技术的一个很好的回顾。在本文中,我们试图进一步说明这个实验方法的更细点。

初学者可练习他们的技术,由执行中线剖腹探查术,暴露膀胱,注入了墨汁在PBS(1%)的稀溶液中,观察膀胱蓝色着色。我们发现,一?…
