E. coli strains were isolated from urine specimens of hospitalised patients with acute pyelonephritis, acute cystitis or asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), and tested for virulence in an experimental mouse model. Of 12 pyelonephritis-strains 11 were shown to be virulent and 1 avirulent; of 12 cystitis-strains 4 were virulent and 8 avirulent; of 12 ABU-strains 5 were virulent and 7 avirulent. It is concluded that, while no difference in virulence was found between cystitis- and ABU-strains, pyelonephritis-strains were more often virulent than cystitis- and ABU-strains. No associations could be shown between virulence of the isolated strains and the presence of antibody-coated bacteria in the urine. Common urinary O types were not more often virulent than other O types. No relationship was seen between virulence and the presence of K antigen or the presence of particular K types.
