The paper analyzes vaginal microbiome data from 10,003 women to compare microbial signatures associated with bacterial vaginosis and urinary tract infections.

This study compares Gardnerella strains in vivo to identify genomic factors associated with urinary tract persistence and pathogenesis, finding clade-specific differences in virulence and persistence.

The paper characterizes the urinary microbiota of pregnant women using catheter urine, clean catch urine, and vaginal swabs, finding that Foley catheter urine better captures low-abundance bladder microbes.
