Through a quirk of anatomy, women are especially prone to urinary tract infections, with almost half dealing with one at some point in their lives. Scientists have been trying to figure out for ...

A DNA-damaging bacterial toxin called colibactin is produced in patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs), according to a study published February 25th in the open-access journal PLOS Pathogens by ...

Urinary tract infections are both very common and potentially very dangerous. Around 80 per cent of UTIs are caused by uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC), which is increasingly resistant to antibiotics. E.

In a recent study published in the Open Forum Infectious Diseases, researchers assess the resistance of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) over time in adults who received uncomplicated urinary ...

Uropathogenic E. coli—UPEC—can lead to serious urinary tract infections. E. coli infections are major public health concerns, and multidrug resistance has increased the bacteria's lethality. Globally, ...
