Which statement is true regarding the male urethral flora?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The male urethral flora varies with sexual activity as semen and sexual secretions can introduce new bacteria into the urethra. Generally, the urethral flora in males differs from that of females as their anatomy and physiology are different. The male urethra is longer and further away from the anus compared to the female urethra, which means that the likelihood of contamination from the anal region is lower in males. There are resident flora in the male urethra, mainly gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Enterobacter species.
