Longitudinal Profiling of the Macaque Vaginal Microbiome Reveals Similarities to Diverse Human Vaginal Communities

mSystems, 2021
The vaginal microbiota plays an important role in women’s reproductive and urogenital health. It is now well accepted that a “healthy” vaginal microbiome is dominated by Lactobacillus species.

Vaginal Microbiome in Reproductive Medicine

Diagnostics, 2022
The human microbiome has been given increasing importance in recent years. The establishment of sequencing-based technology has made it possible to identify a large number of bacterial species that were previously beyond the scope of culture-based technologies.

Race, the Vaginal Microbiome, and Spontaneous Preterm Birth

mSystems, 2022
Previous studies have investigated the associations between the vaginal microbiome and preterm birth, with the aim of determining whether differences in community patterns meaningfully alter risk and could therefore be the target of intervention.

Species-level classification of the vaginal microbiome [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2012
Abstract Background The application of next-generation sequencing to the study of the vaginal microbiome is revealing the spectrum of microbial communities that inhabit the human vagina. High-resolution identification of bacterial taxa, minimally to the species level, is necessary to fully understand the association ...

Pregnancy's Stronghold on the Vaginal Microbiome

PLoS ONE, 2014
To assess the vaginal microbiome throughout full-term uncomplicated pregnancy.Vaginal swabs were obtained from twelve pregnant women at 8-week intervals throughout their uncomplicated pregnancies. Patients with symptoms of vaginal infection or with recent antibiotic use were excluded. Swabs were obtained from the posterior fornix and cervix at 8-12, 17-

The vaginal microbiome and HIV transmission dynamics

Current Opinion in HIV and AIDS
Purpose of review Among women, having a nonoptimal, highly diverse vaginal microbiome dominated by bacteria other than optimal Lactobacillus species such as L. crispatus or L. jensenii predicts HIV transmission. Reducing HIV acquisition among women requires a better understanding of the mechanisms through which the vaginal ...
