AIM: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common and frequently caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). Whether urinary pH has any influence on the development and progression of UTIs is still widely debated. In this study, we systematically address whether urinary pH affected progression and dissemination of UTIs.
METHODS: To assess the effect of urine pH on the development of UTI in vivo, 8-10-week-old female Balb/cJRj mice were randomized to 100 mM NH4Cl (acid-load), 100 mM NaHCO3 (base-load), or demineralised water as drinking water intervention 24 h before UTI was induced via installation of either UPEC or vehicle in the urinary bladder.
RESULTS: Acid load lowered urinary pH by 0.8-1.0 pH points (p < 0.0001), decreased [HCO3 -] (p = 0.0002), and increased [titratable acid] (TA, p = 0.0007), [NH4 +] (p < 0.0001) and net acid concentration (NAC, p < 0.0001), while base load raised urinary pH by 0.3-0.7 pH points (p = 0.0154), increased [HCO3 -] (p = 0.0358), and decreased [TA] (p = 0.0154), [NH4 +] (p = 0.0121) and NAC (p = 0.0064). The UPEC infection did not affect urine acid/base parameters. Compared to control, acid load led to elevated urinary levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), keratinocyte chemoattractant (KC), interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and IL-6, and reduced bacterial burden in urine (737.6 ± 1315.0 CFU mL-1 vs. 29.5 ± 53.3 CFU mL-1, p = 0.0030) and kidney (2.39 ± 5.94 CFU mg-1 vs. 0.06 ± 0.14 CFU mg-1, p = 0.0054). The opposite tendency was observed with base load (2204.0 ± 3135.0 CFU mL-1 urine, 2.23 ± 2.95 CFU mg-1 kidney).
CONCLUSION: Thus, increased urine acid excretion reduced UPEC burden in urine and decreased risk of pyelonephritis while enhancing the urinary excretion of proinflammatory cytokines.
