Plain-language verified summary

Question

Uroepithelial cells 5637 were seeded in 24-well plates with 12-mm coverslips, and four conditions were established: cells treated with or without 5 µM of LD4-PP and with or without infection with MOI 5 of E.

Methods

With antibiotic resistance being a major global concern, there is a huge need of new treatment options to fight bacterial infections.

Scale or participants

The ability to separate internal from external components is essential for a cell to survive.

Key findings

With antibiotic resistance being a major global concern, there is a huge need of new treatment options to fight bacterial infections.

Limitations and uncertainty

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are often caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli where the infection is frequently self-limiting.
