The analysis of catheter biofilms (CBs) from patients with neurogenic bladder disorders revealed persistent colonization by polymicrobial communities. The recurrence of bacterial species in the CBs of sequentially replaced catheters suggests urothelial reservoirs responsible for recolonization of th...
Both Aerococcus urinae (Au) and Globicatella sanguinis (Gs) colonize the human urinary tract and are in the Aerococcaceae family. These rarely pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria were identified in polymicrobial urethral catheter biofilms (CBs) using 16S rDNA and proteomic analyses in this study. For ...
Current methodology for the diagnosis of diseases in the urinary system includes patient symptomology, urine analysis and urine culture. Asymptomatic bacteriuria from urethral colonization or indwelling catheters, sample contamination from perineal or vaginal sources, and non-infectious inflammatory...
