Distinct maternofetal immune signatures delineate preterm birth onset following urinary tract infection

Samantha Ottinger, Addison B. Larson, Vicki Mercado-Evans, Holly Branthoover, Jacob J. Zulk, Camille Serchejian, Libbie Ogilvie, Marlyd E. Mejia, Zainab A. Hameed, Ryan Walde, Rachel C. Fleck, Christopher Scott Ward, Allyson E. Shea, Kathryn A. Patras

This study identifies immune signatures in mice and human urine that predict preterm birth risk following UTI, highlighting cytokines like IL-10 and IL-15 as potential therapeutic targets.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus exacerbates vaginal group B Streptococcus colonization via impaired mucosal cytokine response

Clare M. Robertson, Vicki Mercado-Evans, Addison B. Larson, Holly Branthoover, Samantha Ottinger, Marlyd E. Mejia, Zainab A. Hameed, Lindsey A. Gonzalez, Camille Serchejian, Libbie Ogilvie, Jacob J. Zulk, Kathryn A. Patras

This study shows that type 2 diabetes increases susceptibility to vaginal group B Streptococcus colonization through impaired cytokine responses, not via glucose availability or microbiome changes.

Tamm-Horsfall protein augments neutrophil NETosis during urinary tract infection

Vicki Mercado-Evans, Holly Branthoover, Claude Chew, Camille Serchejian, Alexander B. Saltzman, Marlyd E. Mejia, Jacob J. Zulk, Ingrid Cornax, Victor Nizet, Kathryn A. Patras

This study shows that Tamm-Horsfall protein enhances neutrophil NETosis during UTI by modulating respiratory chain, granules, and chromatin remodeling pathways.
