Center for researching women's infections

[MarthaF]

I just found out the Dr. Scott Hultgren of Washington University has been named director of a new center to study infections that affect women predominantly. He has done the most research on UTIs and his lab discovered the "pods" or biofilms formed by E.coli in mouse bladders that they believe explain recurrent UTIs.

Let's hope this leads to some new findings. Maybe they will discover IC is really an infection as some of us believe.
