The field of research in bladder cancer has seen significant advances in recent years. Next-
generation sequencing has identified the genes most mutated in bladder cancer. This …

Antimicrobial resistance extracts high morbidity, mortality and economic costs yearly by
rendering bacteria immune to antibiotics. Identifying and understanding antimicrobial …

The application of next generation sequencing techniques has allowed the characterization
of the urinary tract microbiome and has led to the rejection of the pre-established concept of …

Urologists rarely need to consider bacteria beyond their role in infectious disease. However,
emerging evidence shows that the microorganisms inhabiting many sites of the body …

Recent advances in the analysis of microbial communities colonizing the human body have
identified a resident microbial community in the human urinary tract (UT). Compared to many …

Uncomplicated urinary‐tract infection (UTI) is most common in young, sexually active,
nonpregnant, premenopausal women. Gram‐negative bacteria are isolated from 75% to …

Bacterial DNA and live bacteria have been detected in human urine in the absence of
clinical infection, challenging the prevailing dogma that urine is normally sterile. Urgency …

Our previous study showed that bacterial genomes can be identified using 16S rRNA
sequencing in urine specimens of both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients who are …

Metagenomic analyses have indicated that the female bladder harbors an indigenous
microbiota. However, there are few cultured reference strains with sequenced genomes …

Enhanced quantitative urine culture (EQUC) detects live microorganisms in the vast majority
of urine specimens reported as “no growth” by the standard urine culture protocol. Here, we …
