Abstract

The vaccination of C3H/HeJ mice with Escherichia coli Dr fimbrial antigen reduced mortality associated with an experimental urinary tract infection due to a homologous strain bearing Dr adhesin. Immune sera with high titers of anti-Dr antibody inhibited bacterial binding to bladders and kidneys but did not affect the rate of renal colonization.
