Species-Level Resolution of Female Bladder Microbiota from 16S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing

Accurate species-level identification from culture-independent techniques is of importance for microbial niches that are less well characterized, such as that of the bladder. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, a common culture-independent way to identify bacteria, is often critiqued for lacking species-l...
