Bacteriological and serological studies after ileovesical diversion in dogs. 1981

J Eldh, and A Brandberg, and L A Nilsson, and S Pettersson

The risk of urinary tract infection after ileovesical diversion was studied by means of bacteriological and serological analyses in 8 mongrel dogs. Cultures of bladder contents showed heavy growth of the same bacterial strains as were found in the distal ileum. Cultures of the pelvic urine contained lower amounts of the same strains of bacteria. The levels of serum antibody titres to Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis were elevated only in 3 out of 100 sera examined. These slightly increased titres were not related to any obvious infection in the urinary tract. High C-reactive protein concentrations were noted in 3 dogs in connection with diagnosed inflammatory conditions. Colonization of the urinary tract after oral administration of selected test-strains could not be shown.

D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D014547 Urinary Diversion Temporary or permanent diversion of the flow of urine through the ureter away from the URINARY BLADDER in the presence of a bladder disease or after cystectomy. There is a variety of techniques: direct anastomosis of ureter and bowel, cutaneous ureterostomy, ileal, jejunal or colon conduit, ureterosigmoidostomy, etc. (From Campbell's Urology, 6th ed, p2654) Ileal Conduit,Conduit, Ileal,Conduits, Ileal,Diversion, Urinary,Diversions, Urinary,Ileal Conduits,Urinary Diversions
