Description
Apichaya Klaikaew and co-authors compare, in a 2026 case-control study, the urine microbe mix and acidity of women with and without overactive bladder, the urgent, frequent need to urinate without infection. The bladder was long thought sterile, and its resident microbes may play a role.
Twenty-three women with symptoms and twenty-three without, matched closely in age and body measures, gave midstream samples for pH and gene sequencing. Acidity matched between groups, and the overall microbe mix did not split either. Two genera, Corynebacterium and Rothia, ran more abundant in the symptom group. With small numbers, the authors frame the hints as starting points for larger, mechanistic studies.
