Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> Urethral stricture in children is a challenging condition to treat, with a high rate of postoperative recurrence. Previous studies based on 16S rRNA and transcriptomic analyses have suggested a positive correlation between urethral stricture and <italic>Escherichia coli</italic> (E. coli), as well as the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/Smad signaling pathway. Notably, even <it...
