Murine Models for Studying the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Pyelonephritis

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 224))

Abstract

A variety of animal models have been used to study the pathogenesis and treatment of pyelonephritis in man. These models have employed a variety of animals such as monkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and mice, and have been extensively reviewed by Cotran (1).
