Uropathogenic Escherichia coli causes significant urothelial damage in an ex vivo porcine bladder model, with no protective effect observed from cranberry or d-mannose
{{output}}
Urinary tract infections (UTIs), primarily caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), have an unclear impact on bladder mucosal physiology. This study investigates UPEC's effects on the urothelium and lamina propria using an ex vivo porcine bladder model... ...
