This study identifies genetic adaptations in Enterococcus faecalis strains isolated from the urinary tract of postmenopausal women that may contribute to their persistence in the urinary tract.

This study examines urinary glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composition in postmenopausal women and links it to recurrent UTI and urobiome ecology.

This study shows that aging increases gut microbial virulence, contributing to more severe sepsis in older adults.

This study identifies a conserved FimK truncation in K. quasipneumoniae that increases type 3 fimbriae expression and bladder epithelial cell association compared to K. pneumoniae.

This study investigates how recurrent UTI and estrogen influence the urobiome's taxonomic and functional features in postmenopausal women using metagenomic and metabolomic analyses.

This paper shows how Vibrio parahaemolyticus uses two effectors, VopQ and VopS, to manipulate host signaling by first inducing pro-survival responses and then triggering cell death.

This paper demonstrates a method to enhance the immunogenicity of E. coli by encapsulating it in a metal-organic framework, leading to improved antibody production and survival in a mouse model.

This study compares surface motility in nonpathogenic and uropathogenic E. coli, showing differences in appendage use and glucose effects on flagella synthesis.
