Proteins as Antibiotic Alternatives for Urinary Tract Infections
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have made treating common infections challenging. In a new study from Nationwide Children’s Hospital, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS), researchers demonstrate a way to boost the body’s production of antimicrobial peptides, which may provide an alternative to antibiotic use.
The Pediatric Nephrology Fellowship is a three-year program that provides the knowledge, expertise and training to become a highly effective clinician and investigator who can improve the lives of children with kidney disease.
