Abstract

In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Adebayo et al. (2020) examine the urobiome of older community-dwelling women within the TwinUK Cohort. They define a core genitourinary microbiome for older women with many heritable microbial taxa. Some taxa appear to co-occur, suggesting the existence of specific microbial consortia.
