Abstract

Bacterial infections are the primary cause of pathogenic sepsis. An uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) model of monomicrobial sepsis represents a useful tool for interrogating the host immune response to this pathogen. Here, we present a protocol for inducing monomicrobial sepsis in mice using UPEC. We describe steps for preparing the bacteria, delivering UPEC into mice, and monitoring the mice post-infection. We then detail procedures for measuring cytokine response
