Vaginotypes of the human vaginal microbiome
Environmental Microbiology, 2021 Summary The human vaginal environment harbours a community of bacteria that plays an important role in maintaining vaginal health and in protecting this environment from various urogenital infections. This bacterial population, also known as vaginal microbiota, has been demonstrated to be dominated by members of ...

The vaginal microbiome in health and disease [PDF]
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2011 Infections of the vaginal tract result from perturbations in the complex interactions between the microbiome and the host vaginal ecosystem. Recent data have linked specific vaginal microbes and urogenital infection with preterm birth. Here we discuss how next-generation sequencing-based approaches to study the vaginal microbiome will be important for ...
