The iso­ nary tracts, and patients experiencing urinary tract ma­ lates were grown overnight at 37 C on trypticase-soy agar nipulation. This syndrome represents a bacterial invasion (Baltimore Biological Laboratories, Cockeysville, Md) for of the kidney [I, 2]; is interpreted pathologically as acute assay of man nose-resistant HA (which includes P fimbria) polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration of the inter­ and statically in Luria broth for 48 h at 37 C for assay stitium [3]; and is characterized clinically by the triad of of mannose-sensitive HA (type I fimbria) [6]. All HA as­ costovertebral pain, fever, and bacteriuria. says were run on ceramic tiles rocked gently at 4 C. For The simple presence of bacteria within the urinary tract inoculation onto epithelial cells, each E. coli strain was is not sufficient for kidney infection. Asymptomatic bac­ grown overnight on agar, harvested into
