Description
This dataset provides information from a study that validates a method for non-invasive urine collection utilizing sodium polyacrylate-based diapers, designed for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of uropathogens. The dataset in- cludes samples from 17 participants, comprising seven clini- cally contrived samples inoculated with known uropathogens and ten samples collected from volunteers wearing sodium polyacrylate-based diapers. The study involved optimizing urine extraction from the diaper matrices, ensuring mini- mal loss of diagnostic sensitivity for downstream quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis.
