Objective   To establish a rat model of chronic pulmonary infection by inoculating Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats.Metods  Sixty SD rats were divided into 2 groups,ie.the P.aeruginosa group and the control group. Silicone tube precoated with P.aeruginosa was placed into the main bronchus. For the control group, sterile silicon tube was intubated. Results  P . aeruginosa was detected from lung tissue of rats in infected groups.Bacterial number was higher than 103cfu / g 28 days after inoculation.The pathological study showed fibrinous proliferation and granulomas formation in the lungs of infected rats 28 days after inoculation.Microscopy examination showed a inflammation predominantly with lymphocyte infiltration.In control group, no bacterial and pathological changes could be detected. Conclusions  The animal model with P.aeruginosa chronic pulmonary infection can be established successfully by silicone tubes precoated with P.aeruginosa intubated into the main bronchus.
