13 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
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 encrustations on the stents. RESULTS: The typical encrustations of organic and inorganic urine-derived material, including...
