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/…

So excited to share the hard work of @Vicki_Mercado1 to understand why gestational diabetes increases susceptibility to group B Streptococcus! We found the pathogen, host immunity, and the microbiota are all contributing factors. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) reoccur easily, in part, because resident memory T (TRM) cells are slow to establish immune memory, finds a new @SciImmunology study in mice. scim.ag/2XL

Our last, but definitely not least, #UTIhour speaker (this Friday 4/7 12pm est) is Léa Deltourbe, a PhD student in @ImmunoBladder lab at @InstitutCochin! She studies the impact of steroid levels on the immune system, to improve our understanding of ♂️♀️ differences in #UTI (1/2)

Jake @Jacob_Zulk presented his work against uropathogenic E. coli this past Friday. He studies bacterial fitness cost in the urinary environment, especially when challenged with phages
For more details, here is the published article released this year!

I am so excited to be a 2022 @ChateaubriandUS fellow! I will be spending eight months in Paris at @InstitutCochin to study phage therapy for UTIs with @ImmunoBladder. Thanks so much to @Katy_Patras, @BCMTailorLabs, @bwtrautner, and my labmates for their support. I can't wait! 🇫🇷
