About this position

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect up to 35% of pregnant women and are associated with maternal sepsis, pre‑term birth and markedly higher health‑care costs. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) accounts for 82–85% of these infections, and there are various bacterial factors that predispose to higher infection morbidity including certain phylogenetic groups, sequence types and virulence factors. In this project, the student will investigate the hypothesis that the increased risk of UTIs observed in pregnancy may be in part due to differences in the types of E. coli causing the infections,
