Chondroitin sulfate degradation bolsters <i>Proteus mirabilis</i> growth and colonization of the catheterized urinary tract

2026-03-02

Abstract excerpt

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are negatively charged polysaccharides composed of repeating disaccharide units and are essential components of the extracellular matrix throughout numerous tissues. The bladder urothelium has a thick protective GAG layer that primarily consists of chondroitin sulfate (CS), heparan sulfate (HS), and hyaluronic acid (HA), and urinary tract pathogens must either degrade or otherwise circumv...
