Encrustations on ureteral stents from patients without urinary tract infection reveal distinct urotypes and a low bacterial load

Encrustations on ureteral stents from patients without urinary tract infection reveal distinct urotypes and a low bacterial load

Abstract Background Current knowledge of the urinary tract microbiome is limited to urine analysis and analysis of biofilms formed on Foley catheters. Bacterial biofilms on ureteral stents have rarely been investigated, and no cultivation-independent data are available on the microbiome of the encru...
