Urinary microbiota - a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for bladder cancer.

Conclusion. The samples collected from the bladder cancer patients displayed a significantly different pattern relative to those from the control group. The higher abundance of A. europaeus observed in bladder cancer patient samples also suggests that the strain may be indicative of bladder cancer. The urinary microbiota may be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for bladder cancer.
