Identification of vaginal microbiome associated with IVF pregnancy [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
The factors that cause a preterm birth (PTB) are not completely understood up to date. Moreover, PTB is more common in pregnancies achieved by in-vitro fertilization (IVF) than in spontaneous pregnancies. Our aim was to compare the composition of vaginal

Stool and vaginal microbiome profiles patterns among Black and White endometrial cancer survivors: A pilot study in North Carolina. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
BackgroundEndometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in the US. Endometrial cancer survivors may experience changes in microbiome due to cancer treatment and other factors. The human microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining the proper

An Insight into Vaginal Microbiome Techniques [PDF]

Life, 2021
There is a unique microbial community in the female lower genital tract known as the vaginal microbiota, which varies in composition and density and provides significant benefits during pregnancy, reproductive cyclicity, healthy newborn delivery, protection from preterm birth, infections such as UTIs, bacterial vaginosis, and so on, and improves the ...

Host-microbiome interactions in distinct subsets of preterm labor and birth

iScience, 2023
Summary: Preterm birth, the leading cause of perinatal morbidity, often follows premature labor, a syndrome whose prevention remains a challenge. To better understand the relationship between premature labor and host-microbiome interactions, we conducted

The Utility of Voided Urine Samples as a Proxy for the Vaginal Microbiome and for the Prediction of Bacterial Vaginosis

Infectious Microbes & Diseases, 2022
. Recent work has shown that the vaginal microbiome exerts a strong impact on women's gynecological health. However, collection of vaginal specimens is invasive and requires previous clinical training or the involvement of a trained clinician.
