An mRNA-based FimH nanoparticle vaccine against uropathogenic Escherichia coli confers protection in a mouse model of recurrent urinary tract infection
Background Increasing antimicrobial resistance and the high health and economic burden of frequent, recurring urinary tract infections (rUTIs) drive the need for an efficacious UTI vaccine. Most UTIs are caused by uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) expressing the virulence factor FimH, which mediates bladder colonisation. We...
