Mark your calendars! Only one more month till Octs UTI Hour. We’ve got a great line up. Check it out 👇

(1/4) Here's another way out veterinary #UTI themed #UTIhour fits into #OneHealth: UTIs in animals can reflect environmental health risks 🙀😱🙀 From polluted water to heat stress, veterinary research shows how our surroundings shape urinary health. 🧵👇

(4/4) By tracking uropathogens in 🐶😺🐘, we can spot emerging resistance trends early. We're so excited to meet #OneHealth experts who do this type of tracking, and tons of other veterinary #UTI research, at our Oct 14 UTI hour! More info is on UTIGA.ORG/upcoming

Our veterinary-themed #UTIhour isn't just about the cute pets we've been posting. Our speakers all believe in the #OneHealth principle: that human, animal, and environmental health are deeply connected. 🧍‍♀️🐶🌿🧫 🧵 For example: infected cows can pass disease to humans.

Veterinary urinary tract health was special to Tweety Cat (not a real 🐼), who developed bladder cancer in her old age and had many #UTI-like symptoms. She'd want you to join our October 14th #UTIhour on veterinary #UTI at 12PM EDT / 1600 UST More info: utiga.org/upcoming

Healthy animals in farms 🐮 and even zoos 🐯 can still carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria 😱🦠 Understanding which of these bacteria can spread to humans, how they can do so, and how to treat it is critical. That's why our Oct 14 (12EDT/1600UST) #UTIhour is on veterinary #UTIs

We are hiring! Please help spread the word about an opportunity to join a vibrant and growing community of microbiologists/parasitologists!

Texas medical center trainees, mark your calendars!

Spread the word! UTI Hour is Oct 14th 2025
