The Role of the Vaginal Microbiome in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes: A Comprehensive Review of Mechanisms and Clinical Implications

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), a complication in approximately 4.5% of pregnancies, is a leading cause of preterm birth and significant perinatal morbidity. A substantial body of evidence implicates vaginal dysbiosis a departure from a healthy, Lactobacillus‐dominant microbiome in the pathogenesis of PPROM.

NanoMLST: A High‐Throughput Bacterial Multi‐Locus Sequence Typing Workflow Using Oxford Nanopore Next‐Generation Sequencing for ESKAPE + E Pathogens

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
NanoMLST is a workflow suggested as a viable alternative to high‐throughput ST determination for ESKAPE + E pathogens using ONT next‐generation sequencing. ABSTRACT Multi‐Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) is a key method for allocation of Sequence Types (STs) for bacterial isolates. Traditionally, this is performed by the Sanger sequencing method, which can
