A Biomimetic Porcine Urothelial Model for Assessing <i>Escherichia coli</i> Pathogenicity

Urinary tract infections can be severe, sometimes fatal, diseases whose etiological pathogens are predominantly uropathogenic strains of <i>E. coli</i> (UPEC). To investigate the UPEC pathogenesis, several models have already been established with minor or major disadvantages. The aim wa...
