Intraindividual changes in the urinary microbiome of a 52-years old nRTX patient during regain of kidney function. The 10 most abundant genera occurring during this time period are depicted. Daily shifts and variations within the urinary microbiome could be observed. While on the first day’s measurement a more or less balanced distribution of the 10 most abundant genera is outlined, on the second day expansion of Enterobacteriaceae eventuated, which nearly vanished on day three in favor for Enterococcus. On day four and five, while kidney function was gradually improving, it appeared that a new relative balance favoring Enterococcus, Corynebacterium and Methylobacterium occurred
