Urinary Tract Infection Models for Preclinical Research
In vivo infection Bacterial/fungal
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide, affecting millions of patients every year. They are a major cause of morbidity, recurrence, and healthcare costs, particularly in women, elderly individuals, and hospitalized patients with catheter-associated UTIs. The growing incidence of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecium poses a serious threat, making the development of new therapeutic approaches an urgent priority.
