摘要

Mice have been used as models of urinary tract infection (UTI) for decades and laid the basis for the fundamental understanding of UTI pathogenesis in humans. Here we report that the high urine osmolarity of mice impacts key aspects of Escherichia coli UTI pathogenesis and represents a confounder for the translation of results to humans.
