Hydrosalpinx induced by lower versus upper genital tract infections with C. muridarum.

The 11 strains of mice listed along with their H-2 haplotypes in the left column were categorized into 3 groups under lower and upper genital infection respectively. Mice with hydrosalpinx severity scores of 5 or >5 were categorized as highly susceptible (H), between 5 and 1 as susceptible (S) and below 1 as resistant (R) to hydrosalpinx induction. Note that introduction of C. muridarum organisms directly into upper genital tract via intrauterine inoculation enhanced hydrosalpinx incidence and/or severity in most mice when compared with intravaginal inoculation at the lower genital tract. The mouse strains with hydrosalpinx most significantly enhanced by intrauterine inoculation are DBA/1J and DBA/2J. *p左栏列出的11个小鼠品系及其H-2单倍型（H-2 haplotype），分别经下生殖道与上生殖道感染后，被划分为3组。以输卵管积水（hydrosalpinx）严重程度评分为判定标准：评分≥5的小鼠被归为输卵管积水诱导的高易感型（H），评分介于1至5之间的为易感型（S），评分<1的为抵抗型（R）。需注意：与经阴道接种下生殖道的方式相比，通过宫内接种直接将C. muridarum接种至上生殖道，可提升多数小鼠的输卵管积水发病率和/或严重程度。经宫内接种后输卵管积水程度最显著升高的小鼠品系为DBA/1J与DBA/2J。*p
