The impact of short term, long term and intermittent E. coli infection on male C57BL/6J mouse prostate histology and urinary physiology.

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: . Repeated intermittent infections resulted in a greater relative bladder wet weight than single infections. However, voiding function, as measured by the void spot assay, and the density of collagen and ProCOL1A1+ cells in dorsal prostate tissue sections did not significantly differ among infection groups. The density of CD45+ leukocytes was greater in the dorsal prostate of mice infected two weeks prior to study endpoint but not in other infection groups compared to uninfected controls.
