Get your blood pumping for our Valentine's Day #UTIhour! Our panel of experts will discuss #urobacteremia - when 🦠 in our bladder go into our bloodstream 🩸 This is the lead of death in #UTI and makes up a QUARTER of sepsis cases 😱💀 Stay tuned to meet our speakers!

Why is preterm birth risk doubled with maternal UTI? It depends on the immune response. We found distinct immune signatures in a UTI-associated preterm birth mouse model. In a human cohort from @AShea_Lab, urine cytokine levels could predict preterm birth. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Distinct maternofetal immune signatures delineate preterm birth onset following urinary tract...

Preterm birth is the leading cause of infant mortality resulting in over one million neonatal deaths annually. Maternal urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy increases risk for preterm...

Our paper was selected for a write up by #MichiganMedicine @harry_mobley @africkcheng michiganmedicine.org/health-…

How E. coli get the power to cause urinary tract infections

Research published in PNAS examines how the bacteria Escherichia coli, or E. coli—responsible for most UTIs—is able to use host nutrients to reproduce at an extraordinarily rapid pace during infect...
