摘要: 人体尿路中存在着常驻微生物群落,但临床对于泌尿道微生物组与宿主的关系和基本生物学原理尚未阐明。详细了解尿路感染(UTI)的发病机制,是临床开发有效治疗UTI的新型抗菌药物的关键。通过对代谢组学和基因表达的研究,人们开始了解细菌毒力在整个感染周期中的动态调控情况,从而能准确地确定细菌毒力的决定因素。目前,关于人体微生物群落的研究已取得一定进展,本综述有望为UTI新型疗法的开发提供参考,从而改善患者的生活质量。Abstract: Resident microbial communities exist in urinary tract of humanity. However, the relationship between the urological microbiome and the host as well as the basic biological principles have not been elucidated in clinical practice. A detailed understanding of the pathogenesis of urinary tract infection(UTI)is the key to the clinical development of novel antimicrobial agents for the effective treatment of UTI. Through the study of metabolomics and gene expression, people began to understand the dynamic regulation of bacterial virulence throughout the infectious cycle, so as to accurately confirm the determinant factors of bacterial virulence. At present, some progress has been made in the study of human microbiome, and the review expected to provide references for the development of new UTI therapies, thus improving the quality of life of patients.
