Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection: A Mystery in Search of Better Model Systems
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infectious diseases worldwide but are significantly understudied. Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) accounts for a significant proportion of UTI, but a large number of other species can infect the ...

Alterations in histamine responses between juvenile and adult urinary bladder urothelium, lamina propria and detrusor tissues [PDF]
, 2020 Inflammatory mediators may have a role in various lower urinary tract disorders. Histamine is known to induce significant increases in both the tension and frequency of spontaneous phasic contractions in both urothelium with lamina propria (U&LP) and
