From Dysbiosis to Disease: How Vaginal Microbiota Shape Group B Streptococcus Pathogenesis

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Lactobacillus crispatus plays a critical role in the vaginal microbiome. Limiting glucose shifts metabolism toward HMO consumption and amino acid metabolism. These actions enable alkali production and competition. Homeostasis, characterized by dense Lactobacilli colonization and suppression of pathogens, provides resistance to dysbiosis.

Comparison of Metronidazole Gel and Povidone‑Iodine for Vaginal Preparation in Preventing Post‑Cesarean Infection‑Related Morbidity: A Three‑Group Randomized Controlled Trial

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Despite routine prophylactic antibiotics, post‐cesarean infectious morbidity remains a major challenge. Preoperative vaginal preparation can reduce vaginal microbial load, but direct comparisons are scarce. This study compared metronidazole gel versus povidone‐iodine for preventing post‐cesarean infection‑related ...

Exploring Cervical Cancer‐Associated Vaginal and Cervical Microbiota via 16S rRNA Sequencing

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
This 16S sequencing study identified a dysbiotic cervical microbiota (increased diversity, reduced Lactobacillus, enriched Prevotella) specifically linked to high‐risk HPV infection. These microbial alterations, shaped by the HPV‐driven microenvironment, offer novel targets for biomarkers and mechanistic research in cervical carcinogenesis.

What is in the Dust? Species‐Level Profiling Reveals Pathogenic and Protective Potential of Microbial Communities in Daycare and Home Environments

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Daycare and home dust predominantly harbour commensal and environmental bacteria; however, a significant proportion remains unclassified, indicating routine childhood exposure to novel microorganisms. Both environments contain species with probiotic and immunostimulatory properties that may confer protection against non‐communicable diseases including ...

Screening for bacterial vaginosis

Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1998
The IIDSOG-USA has advocated antepartum screening for bacterial vaginosis (BV) in all pregnant women in an attempt to prevent premature delivery. The point is well made that there are a number of screening tests routinely performed during pregnancy that may or may not be beneficial. The question of whether or not routine screening for BV has merit with

Community-based trial of screening for Chlamydia trachomatis to prevent pelvic inflammatory disease: the POPI (prevention of pelvic infection) trial. [PDF]

, 2008
BACKGROUND: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is common and can lead to tubal factor infertility, ectopic pregnancy or chronic pelvic pain. Despite major UK government investment in the National Chlamydia Screening Programme, evidence of benefit remains ...

Genital Tract and Circulating CD8+ T Cell Phenotypes Vary Across the Menstrual Cycle

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 96, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Problem The menstrual cycle consists of two main phases: the follicular phase, characterized by rising estradiol and low progesterone, and the luteal phase, marked by elevated progesterone following ovulation. Changes in sex hormones have profound physiological effects, yet their impact on immunity remains poorly understood.
