1. Molecular analysis of transcription factors in uropathogenic E. coli adhesin operons
Abstract : The main causative agent of human urinary tract infections is the uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) pathotype. It may cause disease due to its ability to express a number of bacterial virulence factors. Fimbrial adhesins are particularly important for the initial establishment of infection in the urinary tract. READ MORE

2. The physiological and microbiological response to renal UPEC infection
Abstract : The pathological outcome of a bacterial infection depends on the interplay between the host s defences and the virulence arsenal of the pathogen. Appreciation of this interplay is crucial to the understanding of pathogenesis and the development of efficient clinical treatments. READ MORE

3. Uropathogenic Esherichia coli, multidrug-resistance and induction of host defense mechanisms
Abstract : Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the primary cause of urinary tract infection (UTI), which is one of the most common infections in humans. UPEC strains have acquired successful strategies to subvert the host defense and antibiotics to persist in the urinary tract. READ MORE

4. The role of caspase-1, caspase-4, NLRP3 and IL-1RA in bladder epithelial cells infected by uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Abstract : Urinary tract infection is one of the most common infections and is mostlycaused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). The inflammasomeassociatedproteins caspase-1, caspase-4 and NLRP3 are essential in the hostcell response during urinary tract infection by regulating IL-1β release. READ MORE

5. Carbon monoxide and nitric oxide as antimicrobial agents : focus on ESBL-producing uropathogenic E.coli
Abstract : Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common in humans and most often caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli). Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli are increasing worldwide and they are frequently multidrug-resistant with limited treatment options. READ MORE
