Evaluating urine volume and host depletion methods to enable genome-resolved metagenomics of the urobiome

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold>: The gut microbiome has emerged as a clear player in health and disease, in part by mediating host response to environment and lifestyle. The urobiome (microbiota of the urinary tract) likely functions similarly. However, efforts to characterize the urobiome and assess its functional potential have been limited due to technical challenges including low microbial...
