Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Rita Mormando"
- Rita Mormando's research primarily focuses on understanding the microbial and viral communities present in the human urinary tract, particularly the interactions and implications of polyomaviruses, bacteriophages, and Lactobacillus species.
- One significant finding includes the differentiation between JCPyV and BKPyV in urinary virome data, highlighting their prevalence and potential impact on urinary health, as well as the role of Lactobacillus and associated phages in healthy bladder microbiota.
- Mormando's studies also explore asymptomatic bacteriuria in women, revealing that both pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains of uropathogenic E. coli can inhabit the bladder, emphasizing the complexity of urinary microbiomes in health and disease.
