β¦ Synopsis
Bacterial prostatitis was successfully induced in 30 dogs by the injection of E. coli into a branch of a prostatic artery. Inflammation was proven histologically in all cases and by the appearance of E. coli in the prostatic secretion in all but two dogs. In these two dogs cultures from prostatic tissue were positive for E. coli. The pH changes in the prostatic secretion were inconclusive, and the zinc levels increased slightly in the acutely inflamed gland. Antibody coating of the bacteria could not be demonstrated by immunofluorescence.

Ten adult male mongrel dogs were inoculated with Chlamydia trachomatis by injections of 10(6) or 10(7) organisms directly into the prostate. We were able to recover Chlamydia 3 to 7 days later in three of four dogs receiving injections of 10(7) organisms. Eight of ten dogs developed detectable serum
The results of the treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis are disappointing. The current status of antimicrobial and immunological research is described. While both a local and systemic antibody response is demonstrated in acute bacterial prostatis, only a local antibody production is found in c
