Optimized Urine Metagenomic Methods Reveal Longitudinal Microbial Community Dynamics and Predictors of Transition from Asymptomatic Colonization to CAUTI

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Urinary tract infections (UTIs) rank among the most common infections globally, with many linked to indwelling urinary catheters. Our prior culture-based longitudinal evaluation of long-term catheterized nursing home residents revealed persistent asymptomatic colonization by pathogens and demonstrated that CAUTI onset was not necessarily due to new pathogen acquisition. In t...
