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. https://t.co/iq1cIqtGVE
Honors thesis student, Olivia Powers, got selected for an oral presentation at the Undergraduate Research Symposium and absolutely nailed it! @UofSouthAlabama @usacollegeofmed
Summer Medical Student Research Day!
We are excited to have 3 awesome students presenting their posters. They did a great job moving several of our Shea Lab projects forward. @usacollegeofmed
Iron limitation induces motility in uropath. E. coli CFT073 partially thru action of LpdA https://t.co/uy6Rg3BqzS @harry_mobley We must learn the full breadth of UPEC pathogenesis to adequately respond to this common bug, esp. w/ the increase of antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
Strong showing from the @harry_mobley group (past and present) at #UTICONF24 despite travel delays and cancelations. (Not pictured: Sarguru Subash and Sapna Pahil)
Sad to have not been there in person, but the Shea lab sent our finest! Rachel Fleck presented a poster yesterday on her Pseudomonas UTI project and is giving a podium talk today on her project to detect ASB using a water quality test kit. #AUA24#CAIRIBUatAUA#AUA2024
Excited to publish this work from my NIAID F32 project with @harry_mobley
