Comparison between two clusters of pre-operative bladder microbiomes associated with differential post-operative urinary tract infection (UTI) statuses [76]. Pre-operative bladder microbiomes were divided into two clusters: A. Less Dispersed Cluster (LDC) has an abundance of Lactobacillus iners and all women in this cluster did not develop post-operative UTI [76]. B. More Dispersed Cluster (MDC) has more diversity in uropathogens and included more women who developed post-operative UTIs later on [76]. UTI urinary tract infection, LDC less dispersed cluster, MDC more dispersed cluster
