Host and Microbiome Interplay Shapes the Vaginal Microenvironment

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The female reproductive tract harbors a unique microbiome, especially the vagina. The human vaginal microbiome exhibits a low diversity and is dominated by Lactobacillus species, compared to the microbiome of other organs. The host and vaginal microbiome

Maternal vaginal microbiome composition does not affect development of the infant gut microbiome in early life

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Birth mode has been implicated as a major factor influencing neonatal gut microbiome development, and it has been assumed that lack of exposure to the maternal vaginal microbiome is responsible for gut dysbiosis among caesarean-delivered infants ...

The Vaginal Microbiome in Health and Disease—What Role Do Common Intimate Hygiene Practices Play?

Microorganisms, 2023
The vaginal microbiome is a dynamic, sensitive microenvironment. The hallmark of a ‘healthy’ vaginal microbiome is currently believed to be one dominated by Lactobacillus spp., which acidifies the vaginal environment and help to protect against invading ...

The Changing Landscape of the Vaginal Microbiome [PDF]

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2014
Deep sequence analysis of the vaginal microbiome is revealing an unexpected complexity that was not anticipated as recently as several years ago. The lack of clarity in the definition of a healthy vaginal microbiome, much less an unhealthy vaginal microbiome, underscores the need for more investigation of these phenomena.

Oral administration of maternal vaginal microbes at birth to restore gut microbiome development in infants born by caesarean section: A pilot randomised placebo-controlled trial

EBioMedicine, 2021
Background: Birth by caesarean section (CS) is associated with aberrant gut microbiome development and greater disease susceptibility later in life. We investigated whether oral administration of maternal vaginal microbiota to infants born by CS could ...

Vaginal Microbiome in Preterm Rupture of Membranes

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2020
There is an association between vaginal microbiota dysbiosis and preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). In PPROM, reduced Lactobacillus spp abundance is linked to the emergence of high-risk vaginal microbiota, close to the time of membrane rupture.
