The gut microbiome is a critical modulator of systemic physiology, including infectious disease susceptibility. Although this niche is a reservoir for uropathogenic Escherichia coli, knowledge of its role in urinary tract infections (UTIs) is limited. We discuss two recent studies, Thänert et al. (2022) and Worby et al. (2022), that interrogate the roles of the gut-bladder axis in UTIs.
肠道微生物组是全身生理学的关键调节剂,包括传染病易感性。尽管这个小生境是尿路致病性大肠杆菌的储存库,但对其在尿路感染 (UTI) 中的作用知之甚少。我们讨论了最近的两项研究,Thänert 等人(2022 年)和 Worby 等人(2022 年),它们探讨了肠道-膀胱轴在 UTI 中的作用。
