Abstract To understand differences between asymptomatic colonized and infected states of indwelling medical devices, we sought to determine penile prosthesis biofilm composition, microbe-metabolite interaction networks, association with clinical factors. Patients scheduled for removal/revision were included. Samples from swabbed devices controls underwent next-generation sequencing, metabolomics, culture-based assessments. Biofilm formation device isolates was reconstituted in a...
