Although typically rod-shaped, uropathogenic E. coli divide and proliferate as round coccoid cells during intracellular infection. This study shows that accelerated division via FtsZ constriction driv...

Microbial catabolites in urine provide a rapid method for detecting urinary tract infections (UTIs). Here, the authors describe an LC-MS metabolomics approach for detecting two catabolites collectivel...

This Review discusses adhesion strategies of bacterial pathogens causing urinary tract infections, and outlines host responses and recent advances in therapeutic strategies targeting bacterial adhesio...

In this Review, the authors present the development, structure and microenvironment, and defence mechanisms of the bladder, which together create a blueprint that can be used to optimize current model...

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common infections, worldwide. To understand mechanisms of UTI pathogenesis and find new treatments, researchers often use animal models, such as mice...

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a major health and economic concern. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the leading cause of UTI, and antibiotic resistant UPEC are increasingly common. The m...

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 birth;...

A collaboration between the Australian Institute for Microbiology and Infection (AIMI) at UTS and the Australian Society for Microbiology NSW-ACT Branch. Join us for a one-day symposium dedicated to ...
