The objective of this study was to describe the urinary microbiome among bladder cancer patients, observe longitudinal urinary microbiome changes during surgery and chemotherapy, and identify microbiome patterns that are associated with frequent bladder cancer recurrences. METHODS After optimising urine sample collection, storage and processing methods for microbiome analysis, we carried out a prospective, multicenter cohort study, recruiting patients with newly diagnosed Ta, T1 or CIS transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder who underwent transurethral resection with or without intravesical instillation. Urine samples were collected at multiple time points before and after surgery as the patients were followed up for recurrence. Routine urine culture, enhanced culture, qPCR quantification and V4 16S rRNA gene sequencing were performed on urine samples for microbiome analysis. Urine samples were also analysed from gender and age-matched healthy volunteer controls. RESULTS To eliminate “background” 16S rRNA amplification we found it necessary to collect at least 20 ml of urine and store the pellet in -80 °C. We also needed to treat samples with PMA to bind any contaminating environmental DNA present. Ninety-nine patients were recruited from two medical centers and followed up for up to three years. When compared to healthy individuals, bladder cancer patients had urinary microbiome with increased alpha (within sample) diversity with a decreased proportion of “typically” commensal species. Healthy individuals generally maintained a stable urinary microbiome during the longitudinal follow up, while cancer patients’ urinary microbiome were disrupted during periods following surgery and subsequent chemotherapy, though often a restored community profile was observed in the follow up. A common urinary microbiome pattern was identified among patients with frequent recurrences compared to patients with no recurrence.
