[Rediscovery of type III prostatitis related microorganisms].
Type III prostatitis is a disease that seriously affects men's health. It has a high incidence and unclear etiology. The relationship between type III prostatitis and certain microorganisms has become better understood with the improvement of the techniques for detecting and identifying microorganisms, particularly with the wide application of the methods for the analysis of the 16S rDNA gene. This review introduces a variety of methods for detecting type III prostatitis-related microorganisms, with the purpose of gaining a deeper insight into the role of microorganisms in the pathogenesis of type III prostatitis.
