Distinct urinary microbiome signatures are associated with urinary tract infection risk in patients with liver cirrhosis: A pilot study
Patients with liver cirrhosis who did not develop UTIs demonstrated distinct UMB patterns that may confer protection. These findings suggest that elements of the UMB, such as Prevotella and Corynebacterium, may play a protective role and represent potential targets for preventive strategies.
