Identification and Evaluation of the Urinary Microbiota Associated With Bladder Cancer

Cancer Innovation, Volume 4, Issue 4, August 2025.
Urinary microbiota in Chinese bladder cancer patients reveals distinct profiles between non‐muscle‐invasive and muscle‐invasive diseases, with potential biomarkers like Peptoniphilus spp. in high‐risk MIBC, suggesting a role in cancer progression. Dysbiosis may serve as a stratification marker for bladder cancer risk. ABSTRACT Background Bladder cancer

Pili on Gardnerella vaginalis studied by electronmicroscopy [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1987
Fourteen recently isolated strains and two laboratory strains of Gardnerella vaginalis were examined by electronmicroscopy for the presence of pili. All strains isolated recently from both men and women were heavily pilated. In contrast only a few pili were seen on organisms of the two laboratory strains, with many of the organisms having no pili.

Phages and human health: More than idle hitchhikers [PDF]

, 2019
Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria and archaea. Phages have diverse morphologies and can be coded in DNA or RNA and as single or double strands with a large range of genome sizes. With the increasing use of metagenomic sequencing

Inhibition of sialidase activity and cellular invasion by the bacterial vaginosis pathogen Gardnerella vaginalis [PDF]

, 2018
Bacterial vaginosis is a genital tract infection, thought to be caused by transformation of a lactobacillus-rich flora to a dysbiotic microbiota enriched in mixed anaerobes. The most prominent of these is Gardnerella vaginalis (GV), an anaerobic pathogen

Equine Blood Microbiome in a Cohort of Clinically Healthy Trail Riding Horses

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Emerging research suggests the presence of a blood microbiome in clinically healthy individuals. Characterizing bacterial composition and abundance in blood from a group of healthy horses is of clinical interest. Hypothesis/Objectives Horses in a closed herd environment will have blood microbiomes with similarities among individuals.
