Abstract
A model is described for establishing [Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Escherichia coli] infection in a fulgurated rat bladder. Persistence of bacteriuria was dependent on the size of the bacterial inoculum. Infection in an injured bladder exposed to a single predictable bacterial inoculum may be prevented by a single dose of antibiotic. The appropriate timing of antibiotic administration varies with the infecting organism.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
