Microorganism Profiles of Penile Prosthesis Removed for Infection, Erosion, and Mechanical Malfunction Based on Next-Generation Sequencing

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is an emerging technology that may allow for more sensitive and sophisticated microbial testing of the microbiota of penile prostheses (PP). AIM: To describe the microorganism profiles of PP explanted for infection, erosion, and mechanical malfunction using NGS. METHODS: All patients who underwent PP removal by two physicians at two institutions were identified....
