Abstract
The strain-dependent differences in susceptibility indicate that genetic factors may play a major role in the etiology of bacterial prostatitis. Because F1 mice did not develop significant bladder and prostate infections, similar to the BALB/c parents, it appears that infection susceptibility is a recessive trait. The availability of this model will allow us to investigate the immunology, genetics, and histopathologic features of bacterial infection of the prostate.
