Obesity promotes urinary tract infection by disrupting urothelial immune defenses

2025-04-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Obesity is a significant public health concern that is associated with numerous health risks. Infections are a major complication of obesity, but the mechanisms responsible for increased infection risk are poorly defined. Here, we use a diet induced obesity mouse model and investigate how obesity impacts urinary tract infection (UTI) susceptibility and bladder immune defenses. Our results show t...
