The bladder microbiome of NMIBC and MIBC patients revealed by 2bRAD-M.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bladder cancer (BCa) is the most common malignancy of the urinary tract which can be divided into non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), and their microbial differences are not fully understood. This study was conducted by performing 2bRAD sequencing for Microbiome (2bRAD-M) on NMIBC and MIBC tissue samples to investigate the microbiota differences between NMIBC and MIBC individuals.

Methods

A total of 22 patients with BCa, including 7 NMIBC and 15 MIBC, were recruited. Tumor tissues were surgically removed as samples and DNA was extracted. Type IIB restriction endonucleases were used to enzymatically cleave the microbial genome for each microbe's tag and map it to species-specific 2bRAD markers to enable qualitative
