Probiotic supplementation during pregnancy for vaginal microbiota improvement and pathogen clearance: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Probiotic supplementation during pregnancy shows a modest, non‐robust increase in Group B Streptococcus decolonization, with no consistent benefit for bacterial vaginosis or vulvovaginal candidiasis. Probiotics may serve as a non‐antibiotic adjunct, but standardized regimens and ecological diagnostic frameworks are required.

Anaerobes and bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy: virulence factors contributing to vaginal colonisation [PDF]

, 2014
The aetiology and pathogenesis of bacterial vaginosis (BV) is unclear but it appears to be associated with factors that disrupt the normal acidity of the vagina thus altering the equilibrium between the normal vaginal microbiota.

Vaginal Microbiota and Ovarian Cancer: A New Frontier in Immunomodulation and Diagnosis

Immunology, EarlyView.
Microbial imbalance, dysbiosis, plays a role in ovarian carcinogenesis by interacting with the immune system and altering inflammatory pathways, notably Th17 pathways. In contrast, eubiosis, characterised by Lactobacillus dominance, protects against infections and maintains hormone metabolism.

Atopobium vaginae and Prevotella bivia Are Able to Incorporate and Influence Gene Expression in a Pre-Formed Gardnerella vaginalis Biofilm

Pathogens, 2021
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is associated with a highly structured polymicrobial biofilm on the vaginal epithelium where Gardnerella species presumably play a pivotal role. Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, and Prevotella bivia are vaginal pathogens

Antimicrobial susceptibilities of Gardnerella vaginalis

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1993
The in vitro susceptibilities of 93 clinical isolates of Gardnerella vaginalis to 25 antimicrobial agents were determined by the agar dilution method. All isolates were susceptible to penicillin, ampicillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, and trimethoprim.

Associations between Nugent‐bacterial vaginosis and preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes in rural northwestern Bangladesh

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 173, Issue 2, Page 1094-1104, May 2026.
Abstract Objective Bacterial vaginosis, defined by Nugent score (Nugent‐BV), has been associated with preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, few studies have longitudinally described the associations between Nugent‐BV and adverse pregnancy outcomes at varying times in pregnancy.

Diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis by a new multiplex peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization method [PDF]

, 2015
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of most common vaginal infections. However, its diagnosis by classical methods reveals low specificity. Our goal was to evaluate the accuracy diagnosis of 150 vaginal samples with research gold standard methods and our ...
