: Human urine samples were obtained from anonymous healthy donors at the Department of Biotechnology, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences (INN). Urine samples were spiked with different bacterial strains, as mentioned below. In line with our previous work [], there was no intention to sequence human DNA. Therefore, commercial kits for bacterial DNA extraction were used. Moreover, any sequencing reads recognized as being generated from human DNA were omitted from further analysis and permanently discarded. The microbiology laboratory at INN is approved for the described experimental work. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations of INN University
