Iron Acquisition of Urinary Tract Infection <i>Escherichia coli</i> Involves Pathogenicity in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>

Uropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (UPEC) is a major bacterial pathogen that causes urinary tract infections (UTIs). The mouse is an available UTI model for studying the pathogenicity; however, <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> represents as an alternative surrogate host with...
