Host Genetic Factors Associated with Vaginal Microbiome Composition in Kenyan Women
mSystems, 2020 Bacterial vaginosis (BV) affects 20% of women worldwide and is associated with adverse reproductive health outcomes and increased risk for HIV. Typically, BV represents a shift in the vaginal microbiome from one that is dominated by Lactobacillus to one ...
