Microbiome Signatures as Predictive Biomarkers in Maternal and Neonatal Health: A Path Toward Precision Medicine

Advanced Gut &Microbiome Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The complications that arise from pregnancy such as preterm birth (PTB), preeclampsia, and neonatal sepsis continue to pose significant threats to maternal and neonatal health worldwide. Early detection and treatment are crucial in reducing the morbidity and mortality of these complications.

The Urinary Microbiome in Women Using Single‐Use Versus Reusable Catheters for Intermittent Catheterization: An Exploratory Substudy of the COMPaRE Trial

Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 44, Issue 7, Page 1474-1483, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aims To characterize the urinary microbiome in women performing clean intermittent self‐catheterization (CISC) and explore microbial changes associated with transitioning from single‐use to reusable catheters. Methods This microbiome study of the COMPaRE trial included female CISC patients with urinary retention randomized to either single‐use

The Prostate Microbiome Is Associated With Prostate Size and PSA Level, Independent of Age, in BPH Patients

The Prostate, Volume 85, Issue 9, Page 850-859, June 15, 2025.
ABSTRACT Background The etiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is not well understood, though recent literature suggests that the urinary tract microbiome may play a role. We aimed to examine the prostatic microbiome in BPH and its associations with patient characteristics. Methods Men undergoing Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP)

The Role of Bacterial Proteases From the Microbiome in Human Disease

Cellular Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Proteases degrade proteins and peptides, recycling materials and preventing unnecessary buildup within the cell. They can also be secreted and act in extracellular space. Bacterial proteases are often secreted and function as virulence factors. In the context of the microbiome, they can contribute to host–microbe interactions to facilitate colonization

Beyond the urothelium: Interplay between autonomic nervous system and bladder inflammation in urinary tract infection, bladder pain syndrome with interstitial cystitis and neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction in spinal cord injury—ICI‐RS 2023

Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 1283-1292, August 2024.
Abstract Introduction Inflammation and neuronal hypersensitivity are reactive protective mechanisms after urothelial injury. In lower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTD), such as urinary tract infection (UTI), bladder pain syndrome with interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC) and neurogenic LUTD after spinal cord injury (SCI), chronic inflammation can develop. It

Turbidimetric bioassays: A solution to antimicrobial activity detection in asymptomatic bacteriuria isolates against uropathogenic Escherichia coli

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 3, June 2024.
This study uses turbidimetric bioassays to detect antimicrobial activity in asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) isolates against uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). The cell‐free supernatant (CFS) from eight ABU isolates showed promising results. Notably, E. coli PUTS 58 and SK‐106‐1 demonstrated enhanced activity in artificial urine medium.

Annotations of induced prophages.

, 2023
Due to its frequent association with urinary tract infections (UTIs), Escherichia coli is the best characterized constituent of the urinary microbiota (urobiome). However, uropathogenic E. coli is just one member of the urobiome. In addition to bacterial
