Abstract
Growth of C. renale in vitro on low-Fe medium (1.34 .mu.M) was only slightly less than that on high-Fe media (7.16 and 9.85 .mu.M). Studies on C. renale-induced pyelonephritis using the rat as an experimental model revealed that C. renale cultivated in high-Fe media was capable of producing pyelonephritis, but when grown on low-Fe medium, these bacteria were noninfective. This apparent avirulence of the bacteria cultivated on low levels of Fe could be reversed by injecting the rats with ferric ammonium citrate.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
