Lab-Grown Micro Bladder Helps Explain Why Urinary Tract Infections Return

Lab-grown micro bladder helps explain why urinary tract infections return

A lab-grown micro bladder may explain why urinary tract infections (UTIs) return so frequently, according to a study led by researchers at UCL, the University of Oxford and the University of Leicester.

Micro-Bladder Model Demonstrates How Phage Therapy Could Help to Reduce Recurrent UTIs

Researchers used a novel human 3D micro-bladder model to demonstrate how phage therapy could help to reduce recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) by attacking the reservoirs of bacteria hidden deep within the bladder wall, which antibiotics can’t address.

Tiny bladder model reveals how to prevent recurring urinary tract

Recurrent urinary tract infections have long frustrated both patients and physicians, striking again and again even after seemingly successful courses of antibiotics. Now, a research team led by scientists at University College London, the University of Oxford and the University of Leicester has built a remarkable tool to investigate why these infections keep coming back: […]
