The Urinary Microbiome in Postmenopausal Women with Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections.

Purpose: The etiology of postmenopausal recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) is not completely known, but the urinary microbiome is thought to be implicated. We compared the urinary microbiome in menopausal women with recurrent UTIs to age-matched controls, both in the absence of acute infection.

Materials And Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from 64 women enrolled in a longitudinal cohort study.
