Urinary tract infections (UTI), which start as a bladder infection and often evolve to encompass the kidneys, are among the most common infectious diseases of humans. It is estimated that 40 to 50% of adult healthy women have experienced at least one UTI episode in their lifetime. Bacteria cause most UTI and this study will focus on how these bacteria survive in the urinary tract and will provide key insight into the ways in which human immune responses develop to counteract these bacteria.

尿路感染(UTI)是人类最常见的传染病之一，最初是一种膀胱感染，通常发展到肾脏。据估计，40%至50%的成年健康女性一生中至少经历过一次尿路感染。大多数尿路感染是由细菌引起的，这项研究将集中于这些细菌如何在尿路中生存，并将为人类免疫反应发展以对抗这些细菌的方式提供关键的见解。
