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