Additionally, UPEC co-opts ferritinophagy (a selective sort of autophagy) and shuttles to the autophagosomal and lysosomal compartments with ferritin-bound iron, facilitating UPEC survival and persistence inside the urothelium280. Autophagy generally results in bacterial degradation, but UPEC can block acidification and endure in just lysosomes281.
