Abstract

In women, compelling evidence associates lower urinary tract microbiota (LUTM) with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS); a similar association in men with benign prostate enlargement (BPE) is not established. To determine whether associations exist between LUTM and LUTS. Forty-nine male volunteers, aged 40-85 yr, were recruited from one academic tertiary care center. Twenty-eight patients undergoing BPE/LUTS surgery and 21 undergoing non-BPE/LUTS surgery were stratified by International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and paired voided/catheterized urine specimens were collected for expanded quantitative urine culture (EQUC) and 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. Primary and secondary outcomes were presence of detectable LUTM and specific bacterial members of the LUTM, respectively. Baseline data were compared. Univariable logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) for IPSS category associated with the presence of bladder microbiota. Relative LUTM proportions were compared with IPSS using chi-square tests. Thirty-nine percent of catheterized and 98% of voided specimens contained LUTM. Catheterized and voided LUTM differed significantly. LUTM was detected in catheterized urine of 22.2% of men with mild LU...Continue Reading
