Interstitial Cystitis Urinary Metagenomics
An investigation to characterize the urinary metagenome of patients suffering from interstitial cystitis (IC). Samples were inactivated immediately after first-morning urine was voided. A metagenomics analysis used clinically could elucidate whether patients are diagnosed with non-infectious IC prematurely due to insufficient testing methods, unable to fully investigate all known bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
