Fibrinogen is deposited on catheters due to catheter-induced inflammation and is recognized by the N-terminal domain of EbpA (EbpA\n                    <jats:sup>NTD<\/jats:sup>\n                    ), the Ebp pilus\u2019s adhesin.

Importantly, placement of a urinary catheter renders the patient susceptible to developing a catheter-associated urinary tract infection, accounting for 1 million cases per year. Additionally, these infections can lead to serious complications, including bloodstream infection and death.\n                    <jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic>\n                    strains are a common cause of these infections, and management of enterococcal infections has been more difficult in recent years due to the development of antibiotic resistance and the ability of strains to disseminate, resulting in a major threat in hospital settings. In this study, we developed an antibiotic-sparing treatment that is effective against diverse enterococcal isolates, including vancomycin-resistant enterococci, during catheter-associated urinary tract infections.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/mbio.01653-16","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,25]],"date-time":"2016-10-25T22:08:19Z","timestamp":1477433299000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["Antibody-Based Therapy for Enterococcal Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Ana L.","family":"Flores-Mireles","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Microbiology and Center for Women\u2019s Infectious Disease Research, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer N.","family":"Walker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Microbiology and Center for Women\u2019s Infectious Disease Research, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aaron","family":"Potretzke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"IV","given":"Henry L.","family":"Schreiber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Microbiology and Center for Women\u2019s Infectious Disease Research, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jerome S.","family":"Pinkner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Microbiology and Center for Women\u2019s Infectious Disease Research, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tyler M.","family":"Bauman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alyssa M.","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alana","family":"Desai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Scott J.","family":"Hultgren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Microbiology and Center for Women\u2019s Infectious Disease Research, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael G.","family":"Caparon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Microbiology and Center for Women\u2019s Infectious Disease Research, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9343(00)00531-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1995.00430130115012"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","first-page":"1089","article-title":"The excessive use of urinary catheters in patients hospitalized in university hospital wards","volume":"45","author":"de Oliveira Conterno L","year":"2011","unstructured":"de Oliveira Conterno L, Lobo JA, Masson W. 2011.
