Short- and mid-term temporal variability of the human urinary microbiota: a prospective observational cohort study
Our findings demonstrated that, while the relative abundance of dominant bacteria varied, repeated collections generally shared more than 60% of the bacterial community. Furthermore, we observed little variation in the alpha and beta diversity of the microbial community in human urine. These results help to understand the dynamics of human urinary microbiota and enable interpretation of future studies.
