Ana Lidia Flores-Mireles: Fibrin Suppresses Macrophage Defenses in Catheter-Associated UTIs

Ana Lidia Flores-Mireles, Janet C. and Jeffrey A. Hawk Collegiate Associate Professor at University of Notre Dame, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in Nature Communications, adding:

“New Paper Alert from our lab!

Ever wonder why catheter-associated UTIs are so persistent?

A fibrin-rich environment actively drives CAUTIs by suppressing key macrophage defenses.

Heroic effort led by Armando Marrufo with special thanks to specially to Christopher Gager, Jessica J. Kean, Katelyn C. Fealy and to all the co-authors!

Thanks to all our amazing collaborators Matthew Flick, Francis Castellino,Victoria Ploplis, and Felipe H Santiago Tirado!
