Urinary Microbiome
Abstract
The urinary system is thought to be sterile for many years, has come to an end with recent studies that may actually have a flora like intestines and skin. As a result of studies on the presence of microbiota in the urinary system, it is questioned whether probiotics and prebiotics can be used in the treatment of some urological diseases. In this review we aimed to evaluate the relations between urinary microbiome and the diseases.
