title: [Microbiological aspects of human pyelonephritis].
abstract: Issuing from the adhesive ability of bacteria to human mucous membranes the phenomenon of the adhesion of E. coli to uroepithelial cells is analysed in detail. Fimbrias and colonisation factors might be of importance. In own experiments the first clues concerning the numberous appearance of these adhesive factors could be got. In further investigations the author adopts a definite attitude to the problems of the rough forms of E. coli as the pathogenic agent of a pyelonephritis of man. It is to be assumed that by the occurrence of certain factors of virulence rough forms possess importance as causal agents of pyelonephritis.
