Funded Activity Summary

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common types of infections in humans. They are also a major cause of septic shock, a condition with high fatality rates. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the major microbes causing UTI in humans. This project addresses the role of an immune cell type, the macrophage, in UPEC-mediated disease. The outcomes of this project will be a better understanding of how UPEC causes disease, and potentially new treatment regimes for UTI.
