However, evidence from sequenced-based and enhanced culturing techniques have revealed the bladder supports a population of bacteria even in the absence of infection. The discovery of a bladder microbiota naturally leads to the question of how it influences the health of the host, and recent clinical studies collectively provide evidence that understanding changes in the bacterial diversity and abundance of the bladder microbiota is relevant and warrants further investigation. 000008053 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008053 650__ $$aUrinary Bladder$$015618 000008053 650__ $$aAlgorithms$$014437 000008053 650__ $$aMicrobiota$$040384 000008053 650__ $$aPhylogeny$$024099 000008053 6531_ $$a16s ribosomal rna 000008053 6531_ $$abacterial dna 000008053 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008053 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000008053 7001_ $$aCarter, Hoffman,$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008053 8564_ $$96ce59ea4-c7ba-4499-9bf8-40257bc453fa$$s8536972$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8053/files/hoffman.Carter.2020.pdf 000008053 905__ $$a/rest/prod/v1/18/rf/09/v118rf093 000008053 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8053$$pstudent-work 000008053 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
