(3/3) Dr. Nealon's talk shows how we apply big omics data into the vet clinic, even for #UTI research!

Her talk is called, "Investigating the fecal original s of uropathogens in canine recurrent UTI" 🐶

Catch her, and all our lovely speakers, tomorrow!

(2/3) Dr. Nealons's research interests center on infectious GI diseases, and the role of the gut microbiome in companion animal obesity. Feline obesity is also her clinical specialty.

She works to improve how we translate but "omics" data into the clinic - for 😺 and for 🧍‍♀️

(4/4) Dr. Guragain's #UTIhour talk is fittingly titled, "Foodborne potential of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli: comparative characterization of human & poultry isolates" 🐔

Watch her live, 10/14 at 12pm EDT utiga.org/upcoming

(3/4) Dr. Guragain does a lot of research into how bacteria in our livestock can survive stress.

The types of stress include high temps during cooking, intense sanitization procedures in processing plants, & antibiotic use during farming. Super relevant to the food we eat!

(2/4) Dr. Guragain's research perfectly exemplifies the #OneHealth model and shows how bacteria in animals isn't just an animal-only issue.

Just like in humans, animals with #UTI can end up with those bacteria in their gut microbiomes. Sometimes that can end up in our food 😱

(3/3) Dr. LeCuyer's #UTIhour talk is titled, "Relapse or Infection? Genomic insights into recurrent E. coli infections"

Sound familiar? These conditions really do affect all of us! Maybe she'll tell us how 🐶 and 🧍‍♀️ relate to each other.

Catch her on 10/12 at 12PM EST!

(2/3) Dr. LeCuyer has research grants with the FDA on topics including #UTI therapeutics in dogs 🐶

She's also worked on human infectious disease as a Fulbright Scholar, citing the "innate interconnectedness of the physiology of all mammals"

The hat #OneHealth connection!

(4/4) Dr. Weese's talk is titled "The past, current and future of #UTI treatment guidelines in small animals."

Watch it live on 10/14, 12PM EST/4PM UTC (zoom link on UTIGA.ORG/UPCOMING)

(3/4) Dr. Weese also runs a blog called "Worms and Germs," with the support of the city of Hamilton 🇨🇦.

His blog promotes safe pet ownership, especially in the context of zoonotic diseases that affect companion animals in houses and farms 🐴 🐶 😺

(2/4) In addition to his veterinary practice, Dr. Weese is the director of the Centre for Public Health and Zoonoses, and the Chief of Infection Control at OVC Health Sciences Center.

His own research focuses on infectious disease issues of animals and humans (the #OneHealth connection!)
October 8, 2025 at 5:23 PM
(3/3) Dr. Ballash's own research focuses on bacterial genomic epidemiology from a #OneHealth perspective.

This refers, at least partially, to how antibiotic resistance genes can spread between 🦠, which can in turn impact 🐶🐯🦓 and 🚶‍♀️🧍‍♀️
October 7, 2025 at 1:52 PM
(2/3) Dr. Ballash joined Ohio State University's College of Veterinary Medicine last year as an Assistant Professor of Applied One Health. He put together our panel based on One Health principles.

We talked about #OneHealth before & how animals, humans, and the environment are all connected.
