Abstract
In order to establish a causal relationship between urinary microbiota and a urological disease or condition, a series of rigorous scientific criteria must be met. Demonstration of an association between microbiota and a condition does not necessarily imply causality, importance, or clinical relevance.
期刊介绍:
