The interrelation between microbial immunoglobulin coating, vaginal microbiota, ethnicity, and preterm birth

Microbiome
Background Vaginal microbiota composition is associated with spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB), depending on ethnicity. Host-microbiota interactions are thought to play an important underlying role in this association between ethnicity, vaginal microbiota

Diversity in women and their vaginal microbiota

Trends in Microbiology
Women's health is essential to global societal and economic wellbeing, yet health disparities remain prevalent. The vaginal microbiota plays a critical role in health, with research indicating that reduced levels of core bacteria, such as lactobacilli, are associated with conditions like bacterial vaginosis (BV) and increased infection susceptibility ...

Diet influences community dynamics following vaginal group B streptococcus colonization

Microbiology Spectrum
The vaginal microbiota plays a pivotal role in reproductive, sexual, and perinatal health and disease. Unlike the well-established connections between diet, metabolism, and the intestinal microbiota, parallel mechanisms influencing the vaginal microbiota

Impact of testosterone use on the vaginal microbiota of transgender men, including susceptibility to bacterial vaginosis: study protocol for a prospective, observational study

BMJ Open, 2023
Introduction The effect of testosterone (T) therapy on the vaginal microbiota of transgender men (TGM) is not well characterised, although one cross-sectional study comparing the vaginal microbiota of cisgender women to TGM on T≥1 year found that, in 71%

Impact of contraceptive initiation on vaginal microbiota [PDF]

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2018
Data evaluating the impact of contraceptives on the vaginal microbiome are limited and inconsistent.We hypothesized that women initiating copper intrauterine device use would have increased bacterial vaginosis and bacterial vaginosis-associated microbes with use compared to women initiating and using hormonal contraceptive methods.Vaginal swabs (N ...

Role of age in mediating the association between the vaginal microbiota and preterm birth

mSystems
The vaginal microbiota plays a crucial role in vaginal health and pregnancy outcomes. However, the influence of maternal characteristics, especially age, on the relationship between the vaginal microbiota and preterm birth is poorly understood.
