Abstract

Lactobacillus has long been known to reconstruct the microbiome of the urogenital organs of healthy people. However, changes in lactobacillus abundance are known occurring in urogenital tract infections (UTI) patients. It is also known that there are Lactobacillus species that have specific genomic characteristics and nutritional requirements that cause them to turn into pathogens. Understanding population characteristics and taxa composition that reconstruct urine microbiome is very important for the diagnosis and treatment of urogenital infections. This review provides an update information of metagenomic sequencing to identify the urinary microbiome profile and the role of lactobacilli in healthy and UTI patients.
