The human urinary microbiome; bacterial DNA in voided urine of asymptomatic adults (2013)
Journal Article
Jacobson, S. K., Lewis, D. A., Lewis, D., Brown, R., Williams, J., White, P., …Drake, M. J. (2013). The human urinary microbiome; bacterial DNA in voided urine of asymptomatic adults. Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 4(AUG), https://doi.org/10.3389/fcimb.2013.00041

The urinary microbiome of healthy individuals and the way it alters with ageing have not been characterized and may influence disease processes. Conventional microbiological methods have limited scope to capture the full spectrum of urinary bacterial...
