Mark your calendars for the next #UTIHour on Oct 14th focusing on veterinary #UTI

Curious about the link between blood clotting and urinary health? Our new review, published in ATVB. Thanks Jonathan Molina for your hard work in this publication!! #hemostasis #urology #LUTS @globaluti.bsky.social www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

Check out this awesome study from our Notre Dame colleagues, @aacostaserrano.bsky.social and Lee Haines!! Nitisinone kills insecticide-resistant mosquitoes through cuticular uptake parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

We are pleased to announce our latest Nature Review Urology article, "CAUTIon — not all UTIs are the same," a comprehensive overview of catheter-associated UTIs. This monumental effort, led by Jonathan Molina, PhD. @globaluti.bsky.social rdcu.be/eyPrx

Don’t miss it!

(1/2) Our #UTIhour host, Arthika Manoharan, is a regular #UTIGA superstar 🌟 who won a 2024 travel award & presented at #UTICONF24 She's assembled a GREAT group of researchers to present on pediatric #UTIs this FRIDAY, 7/11, 9am EDT/1PM UDT (utiga.org/upcoming) Let's catch up with her👇

(2/2) Dr. Manoharan is a postdoctoral researcher who works with Whiteley Corporation & @sydney.edu.au 🇦🇺🦘 Since our last thread about her on X, she was awarded seed funding to investigate the natural anti-biofilm activity of honey in chronic UTI. How cool! 🍯🐝

Big congratulations to our student Alyssa La Bella! She got the Milton Huppert Graduate Student Award from MMSA for her outstanding contribution to medical mycology, and Alyssa's work on unveiling fungal infection during CAUTI is truly groundbreaking. @globaluti.bsky.social

From now on, this nurse will watch C. auris urinary cases on echinocandins closely. At any hint of treatment failure, I'll be ready to call the doctor !! I love seeing such bright and hardworking young scientists. Congrats for this doi.org/10.1371/jour... @alabella14.bsky.social !

Check out this great interview by Dr. Henry Schreiber on @liveutifree.bsky.social YouTube channel He talks all about the gut-bladder axis www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6X_...

Super excited and delighted to introduce @alabella14.bsky.social this Thursday for her student award from MMSA. She will be giving a short presentation on our latest collaborative work on C. auris during the MMSA Annual meeting (registration link shorturl.at/QRMCU). Congrats Alyssa!

I want to thank MMSA for selecting me for this award (together with Dr. Sebastian Wurster) and congratulate all the other award recipients (including one of my students!) that will be giving talks this Thursday on the MMSA Annual meeting (registration link bit.ly/4jZziDz). Thanks to all involved!

Hooding and graduation ceremony!! I am so proud of my students Jonathan Molina and Armando Marrufo!! Congratulations Drs!!

Congratulations Rachel Kinsella and everyone who contributed to this work!! Read more here about the autophagy-independent role for ATG5 in regulating type I IFN-induced neutrophil NET release and swarming!!

Is Candida auris the next big catheter-associated UTI threat? @afloresmireles.bsky.social and myself believe it already is. Read about the alarming emergence of this superbug as a prevalent urinary pathogen in this PLoS Pathogens article. More cool research coming out soon! doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Check out our latest review that highlights the growing threat of Candida auris in UTIs, its prevalence in catheterized patients, high mortality and antifungal resistance. Thanks Alyssa @alabella14.bsky.social, Felipe Santiago-Tirado @felipehst.bsky.social! journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

Amazing talk by our student, Alyssa La Bella, @alabella14.bsky.social!!! Presenting her work in C. auris CAUTI!

Ok scientists & those who love science 🧪: here is another exhortation. Call Congress TODAY about the freeze on NIH Council Meetings and Study Sections. Emphasize that this means NO new grants are being funded & labs will soon start to shut down and fire employees. Phone numbers are at: 5calls.org

Hey #UTIsky, are you presenting #UTI research at a domestic or international conference this year? #UTIGA may be able to help cover some costs🔥💰 We are now accepting applications for 2025 travel awards! Application is in the "File Downloads" section of our site utiga.org/ #IDsky

Thank you so much UTIGA for the invitation to present our research!!!

Don't miss it! Happening tomorrow!

Hey, #UTIsky! Don't forget to tune in to our #UTIhour on #urobacteremia THIS Friday, 2/14 at 1500 UTC! Zoom link is on our site, UTIGA.org. We will have three expert researchers present their work on how #UTI can cause deadly bloodstream infections. See y'all then!

IN universities received $414 million in grants. That translated into $1.1 BILLION in economic activity. With the proposed cuts from the Trump administration, the state of IN will generate ~$451 million less. Check out NIH impact in your state here: www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

These "indirect costs" actually DIRECTLY support research, they not only pay for things like water and power, but for personnel that set up the grant contracts, do all the legal paperwork, communicate with NIH, etc. This is terrible! I hope they will reconsider soon! www.science.org/content/arti...

Get your blood pumping for our Valentine's Day #UTIhour! Our panel of experts will discuss #urobacteremia - when 🦠 in our bladder go into our bloodstream 🩸 This is the lead of death in #UTI and makes up a QUARTER of sepsis cases 😱💀 Stay tuned to meet our speakers!

Mark your calendars!

I introduce to you Dr. Molina!!! Congratulations Jon!! You did a great job!!

Save the date! UTI Hour is one month from today, Feb 14th at 10 am EST. Join us to learn more about urobacteremia and urosepsis from @afloresmireles.bsky.social Dr. Ritwij Kulkarni, and Namrata Deka. Hosted by Dr. Allyson Shea.

Amazing presentation by my student, Alyssa La Bella in our Departamental Retreat
