Primary Campylobacter jejuni infection in different mice strains
Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most frequent causes of diarrhoea in man. Extraintestinal manifestations may also occur, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. However, because of the lack of appropriate animal models the pathophysiology and immunological response of the host to C. jejuni infection are still poorly understood. In our laboratory an experimental infection of adult BALB/c, C57BL/6 and DBA/2 mice has been established. After intraperitoneal injection of 0.51 x 1000000000 CFU of C. jejuni non of infected mice showed clinical symptoms of illness, but bacterial spreading and tissue invasion were achieved. We have concentrated our studies on the duration of primary infection, recovery of bacteria from livers and spleens of infected animals and pathohistological changes of these organs. Our results showed differences in the course of systemic infection among the tested mice strains. BALB/c mice were most sensitive, resulting in the most pronounced pathohistological changes in the examined organs. The duration of the primary liver infection was the longest in BALB/c mice while the duration of the splenic infection also differed among the tested mice strains. Nevertheless, the experimental model used in this study can be efficiently used in further analysis of the pathogenesis of this bacterial infection. However, the strain differences should be taken into account depending on the parameters to be followed.
