Introduction: The pediatric urinary microbiome (urobiome) has been studied in the context of healthy children and children with genitourinary pathologies including neuropathic bladder, urinary tract infection (UTI) and nephrolithiasis. Little is known about the urobiome of children with bladder and bowel dysfunction (BBD), a condition that is an established risk factor of UTI. We hypothesized that the symptoms of a child with BBD may be related to urobiome composition.
