Modelling catheter-associated bladder mucosal adhesion and microtrauma using a human urothelial microtissue model Animal models have been used to investigate urinary tract catheters, but most do not accurately recapitulate human bladder physiology nor support different types of catheters. Recent advances in three...

Excited to present lab's latest preprint. Former postdoc Nazila Jafari developed a model to study catheter contact on human urothelium using our 3D microtissue system. Now we're looking at if/how catheter-induced microtrauma might influence bacterial infection! #UTISky #CAUTI doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Comparing generative artificial intelligence vs. experts for detection of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) Abstract. A retrospective cohort study compared generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) vs. infection control expert for catheter-associated urinary tra

Generative #AI is a promising tool to assist in #CAUTI surveillance.

Sensitivity was 95.2% and specificity 76.2%, improving to 90% with expert review of GenAI output. #IDSky

Risk factors for catheter-associated urinary tract infection in an intensive care unit: a matched case-control study - BMC Infectious Diseases Objective Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are common healthcare-related infections in intensive care units (ICUs). This study investigated the risk factors for CAUTIs in critical...

CAUTIs increase costs and impact the health outcomes of ICU patients. The need for repeat catheterization and prolonged use of broad-spectrum antibiotics are key factors to the development of CAUTIs in this population. bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
