Introduction The lower urinary tract is a complex system of smooth muscles and skeletal muscles which act together to ensure continence in rest and under stress conditions Fig 1 Fig 1 3D model of the lower urinary tract of the human Only muscles which are common in both sexes are shown 1 M detrusor vesicae 2 M sphincter vesicae 3 M sphincter urethrae

preparations we found that cells from the different regions of the lower urinary tract had quite different neurotransmitter response patterns For a semi quantitative analysis see Table 1 Tab 1 Results of the calcium imaging experiments We tested several transmitter blockers and found that atropine and pirenzepine completely blocked the calcium transients upon carbachol

UTIs are considered to occur in an ascending manner flagellum mediated motility has been suggested to contribute to virulence by enabling UPEC to disseminate to the upper urinary tract Studies from our laboratory and others have shown that flagella contribute to the efficient colonization of the urinary tract Here we describe the use of biophotonic imaging to
