Ottinger S, Larson A, Mercado-Evans V, Branthoover H, Zulk J, Serchejian C, et al.
bioRxiv . 2024 Nov; PMID: 39484515
Preterm birth is the leading cause of infant mortality resulting in over one million neonatal deaths annually. Maternal urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy increases risk for preterm birth; however,...

Stocki J, Fleck R, Nguyen I, Walde R, Mobley H, Shea A
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2024 Oct; 90(11):e0156724. PMID: 39475268
Between 2% and 15% of pregnant women unknowingly experience asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), defined as ≥10 CFU per milliliter of urine in the absence of symptoms. ASB increases the risk of...

Shea A, Forsyth V, Stocki J, Mitchell T, Frick-Cheng A, Smith S, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 Apr; 121(16):e2310693121. PMID: 38607934
Urinary tract infections (UTI) account for a substantial financial burden globally. Over 75% of UTIs are caused by uropathogenic (UPEC), which have demonstrated an extraordinarily rapid growth rate in vivo....

Pearson M, Shea A, Pahil S, Smith S, Forsyth V, Mobley H
Infect Immun . 2023 Oct; 91(11):e0035523. PMID: 37850748
Animal models for host-microbial interactions have proven valuable, yielding physiologically relevant data that may be otherwise difficult to obtain. Unfortunately, such models are lacking or nonexistent for many microbes. Here,...

Pearson M, Pahil S, Forsyth V, Shea A, Mobley H
Microbiol Spectr . 2022 Nov; 10(6):e0314222. PMID: 36377916
Ordered transposon libraries are a valuable resource for many bacterial species, especially those with difficult methods for generating targeted genetic mutations. Here, we present the construction of an ordered transposon...

Shea A, Stocki J, Himpsl S, Smith S, Mobley H
Infect Immun . 2021 Dec; 90(2):e0027521. PMID: 34871042
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) causes the majority of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI), which affect nearly half of women worldwide. Many UPEC strains carry an annotated intimin-like adhesin () locus...

Shea A, Marzoa J, Himpsl S, Smith S, Zhao L, Tran L, et al.
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2020 May; 86(13). PMID: 32358013
Urinary tract infections (UTI), the second most diagnosed infectious disease worldwide, are caused primarily by uropathogenic (UPEC), placing a significant financial burden on the health care system. High-throughput transposon mutagenesis...

Himpsl S, Shea A, Zora J, Stocki J, Foreman D, Alteri C, et al.
PLoS Pathog . 2020 Feb; 16(2):e1008382. PMID: 32106241
The energy required for a bacterium to grow and colonize the host is generated by metabolic and respiratory functions of the cell. Proton motive force, produced by these processes, drives...

Alteri C, Himpsl S, Shea A, Mobley H
J Bacteriol . 2019 Jun; 201(16). PMID: 31160397
Bacterial metabolism is necessary for adaptation to the host microenvironment. Flexible metabolic pathways allow uropathogenic (UPEC) to harmlessly reside in the human intestinal tract and cause disease upon extraintestinal colonization....
