Abstract:
Objective: To set up a vertical transmission animal model by genital infection with
ureaplasma urealyticum(UU) during the course of cyesis.
Methods: Kunming mice were infected by serotype 4 UU during the period of pregnancy through vagina,the vertical transmission from mother to filial generation was observed by UU culture and immumohistochemical staining test.
Results: UU positive rates from the lung and spleen in the newborn mice by UU infection(3.5×10
4 CCU/ml,5×10
5 CCU/ml,and 10
6 CCU/ml) were 0 and 0,2.7 and 1.4,and 74.4 and 30.3,respectively.
Conclusions: The UU vertical transmission animal model during the course of cyesis was constructed successfaly through genital infection with UU in the pregnant mice.
