SimUrine: a novel, fully defined artificial urinary medium for enhanced microbiological research of urinary bacteria [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Urinary tract infections represent one of the most prevalent bacterial diseases, yet current diagnostic and research methodologies are hampered by inadequate culture media that fail to replicate the bladder biochemical environment.

Characterization of the urogenital microbiome in Miniature Schnauzers with and without calcium oxalate urolithiasis

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2022
Background Calcium oxalate (CaOx) uroliths are common in dogs. Humans with CaOx urolithiasis exhibit alterations of the urinary and urogenital microbiomes that might mediate urolith formation. Detection of urogenital microbes associated with CaOx in dogs

Synthesis of current pediatric urinary microbiome research [PDF]

Frontiers in Pediatrics
The human urinary bladder hosts a complex microbial community of low biomass referred to as the urobiome. While the composition of the urobiome has been investigated in adults for over a decade now, only a few studies have considered the presence and ...

Impact of sample processing method and volume on 16 S rRNA profiling of the urobiome [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Background The urinary microbiome (urobiome) plays important roles in both human and animal urogenital tract health. Characterization of these microbial communities presents several technical challenges, largely due to the low microbial biomass of urine.

Unveiling the Urobiome: Getting to know Actinotignum schaalii and its role as a potential uropathogen

International Journal of Infectious Diseases
Introduction: The human urobiome, comprising diverse microbial members, plays a crucial role in maintaining urinary tract health. One urobiome member identified in many studies to date – including our group - is Actinotignum schaalii. A.

The Role of the Male Urobiome and Dysbiosis in the Pathogenesis of Prostatic Diseases (CP/CPPS and BPH).

Journal of Education, Health and Sport
Background. For decades, the male urinary tract was considered sterile. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) overturned this dogma, revealing a complex urobiome. Aim. This study aims to summarize literature on the physiological male urobiome and evaluate

Microbiome Profiling in Bladder Cancer Patients Using the First-morning Urine Sample [PDF]

European Urology Open Science
Background: Several studies support the interplay between the urinary microbiome (ie, urobiome) and bladder cancer (BCa). Specific urinary bacteria may be responsible for chronic inflammation, which in turn promotes carcinogenesis.
