Venn diagram illustrating the resident microbiota in the urinary tract, menstruant reproductive system, and genitourinary tract. The distinctive characteristics of each anatomical site facilitate the normal and healthy development of microbiota. Shared microorganisms can be found in both the urinary tract and the menstruant reproductive system, which are collectively referred to as the genitourinary tract microbiota. This supports the theory that the vaginal microbiome serves as a reservoir of microbiota in cases of dysbiosis or isolated infections in the urinary tract.
