Detection of viable urogenital tract archaea in asymptomatic humans using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH). The Thermoproteota- and Halobacteriota-rich urine specimens (RL004 and RL011, respectively) were subjected to the analysis. Probes CREN512cy3, HALO785cy3, and EUBmixcy5 were used to detect Thermoproteota, Halobacteriota, and bacteria, respectively. Scale bars correspond to 5 μm.
