In total, 103 E. coli strains isolated from patients with acute pyelonephritis (59 uncomplicated pyelonephritis (UAP) and 44 complicated pyelonephritis (CAP)) were characterized by RFLP of the intergenic spacer region 16S-23S rRNA, the presence of three alternative sequences found in the polymorphic V6 loop of the 16S rRNA gene, the presence of the pap gene, and antibiotic susceptibility.

Since the ACE gene deletion polymorphism is a known risk factor for progressive glomerulosclerosis in chronic renal diseases, we have investigated the relationship between the ACE genotypes and the development of renal scarring after APN.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of IL-1beta and Escherichia coli on the expression and secretion of MIP-2, the mouse equivalent to human IL-8, MCP-1 and RANTES in the kidneys of mice with acute pyelonephritis.

The studies suggest that distinct molecular defects can cause the clinical entity of acute pyelonephritis with renal scarring, and suggest that the susceptibility to UTI in certain patient groups may have a genetic basis.
Urinary levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) higher than those of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) during acute pyelonephritis have previously been associated with a higher degree of acute inflammation and of postinfective renal scarring.

CXCR1 expression was investigated as a factor predisposing to APN, because low CXCR1 expression has been associated with disease susceptibility in mice and disease-prone children.
