To clarify the relationship between proliferative activity in bile duct epithelia and bacterial infection in the dog, we induced obstructive cholestasis with a bacterial infection in two lobes of the liver. The bile duct branch draining the left lateral lobes of the liver was cannulated in all mongr...
