Mechanism of persistent infection associated with peritoneal implants.

abstract：:Diabetic mice were significantly more susceptible than normal mice to bladder infection with Enterobacter cloacae or Serratia marcescens but not to intraperitoneal infection. Normal urine inhibited the growth of E. cloacae and S. marcescens, whereas urine from diabetic mice permitted multiplication. The addition of ur...
