Get your blood pumping for our Valentine's Day #UTIhour! Our panel of experts will discuss #urobacteremia - when 🦠 in our bladder go into our bloodstream 🩸 This is the lead of death in #UTI and makes up a QUARTER of sepsis cases 😱💀 Stay tuned to meet our speakers!
Why is preterm birth risk doubled with maternal UTI? It depends on the immune response. We found distinct immune signatures in a UTI-associated preterm birth mouse model. In a human cohort from @AShea_Lab, urine cytokine levels could predict preterm birth. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Honors thesis student, Olivia Powers, got selected for an oral presentation at the Undergraduate Research Symposium and absolutely nailed it! @UofSouthAlabama @usacollegeofmed
Wishing @harry_mobley a happy retirement! 40 years of “Movin’ on Up” 🧫🔬🧬
Summer Medical Student Research Day! We are excited to have 3 awesome students presenting their posters. They did a great job moving several of our Shea Lab projects forward. @usacollegeofmed
Dr. Mobley receives the Inaugural Life Time Achievement Award from the Urinary Tract Infection Global Alliance (UTIGA)! Congratulations! michmed.org/Bnd4Y #UrinaryTrackInfection #UTI #UTIGA @UMichMedScience @teresa_omeara @umichmedicine
Iron limitation induces motility in uropath. E. coli CFT073 partially thru action of LpdA journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… @harry_mobley We must learn the full breadth of UPEC pathogenesis to adequately respond to this common bug, esp. w/ the increase of antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
Strong showing from the @harry_mobley group (past and present) at #UTICONF24 despite travel delays and cancelations. (Not pictured: Sarguru Subash and Sapna Pahil)
UTIGA 2024. So much fun! @GlobalUti
@HultgrenLab @MikeNeug @TheDeNiscoLab Our third selected #UTIconf24 abstract this morning is from @AShea_Lab who is working with @MelanieMPearson on Proteus mirabilis acquisition of sugars during UTI
Talks and posters today for the Shea Lab at #UTICONF2024 come see us!

Diverse UTI pathogens isolated from patients in our Gulf Coast region. Poster 1006 #ASMicrobe
Our first ASM Microbe as a lab group! Come check us out at poster 125 and 628. #ASM2024
Our paper was selected for a write up by #MichiganMedicine @harry_mobley @africkcheng michiganmedicine.org/health-lab/how…
Sad to have not been there in person, but the Shea lab sent our finest! Rachel Fleck presented a poster yesterday on her Pseudomonas UTI project and is giving a podium talk today on her project to detect ASB using a water quality test kit. #AUA24 #CAIRIBUatAUA #AUA2024
Excited to publish this work from my NIAID F32 project with @harry_mobley Emerging roles for ABC transporters as virulence factors in uropathogenic Escherichia coli | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Our first conference as a lab was so much fun! Great poster presentations by two of our undergraduate students at the Southeastern Branch meeting of #ASM #SEBASM2023
So proud of both undergraduate students, Rachel and Sicily, who presented their work at the Research Symposium! 🔬🥼🧫
