Associations between penile bacteria abundance and immune parameters at the urethra and coronal sulcus of uncircumcised men. Absolute abundances of selected penile bacteria Dialister and Corynebacterium showed distinct correlations with sE-cadherin and IL-8 at the urethra versus the coronal sulcus prior to PC. At the coronal sulcus, Dialister tended to be positively (A, C) and Corynebacterium negatively (E, G) associated; at the distal urethra similar associations were seen, but often weaker or non-significant (B, D, F, H; N = 51)
