Recovery of Vaginal Microbiota after Standard Treatment for Bacterial Vaginosis Infection: An Observational Study

Microorganisms, 2020
Vaginal microbiota dysbiosis and bacterial vaginosis (BV) affect negatively women’s health. Understanding vaginal microbiota fluctuations in BV during and after antibiotic treatment would facilitate accurate decision-making on the treatment regimen ...

Association Between Vaginal Bacterial Microbiota and Vaginal Yeast Colonization

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
Abstract Background Vaginal yeast is frequently found with Lactobacillus-dominant microbiota. The relationship between vaginal yeast and other bacteria has not been well characterized. Methods These analyses utilized data from the ...

The External Exposome and Food Allergy: How Environmental Exposures Shape Disease Risk

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT IgE‐mediated food allergy is a global health issue with rising prevalence that cannot be explained by genetic change alone, strongly suggesting that environmental exposures are a key driver. The external exposome encompasses several exposures that influence the developing immune system and modify food allergy risk.

Vaginal microbiota and mucosal pharmacokinetics of tenofovir in healthy women using tenofovir and tenofovir/levonorgestrel vaginal rings.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Recent data support that the vaginal microbiota may alter mucosal pharmacokinetics (PK) of topically delivered microbicides. Our team developed an intravaginal ring (IVR) that delivers tenofovir (TFV) (8-10 mg/day) alone or with levonorgestrel (LNG) (20 ...

When two diseases collide: Endometriosis as a risk factor for severe pelvic inflammatory disease

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Endometriosis is associated with a more severe clinical course of pelvic inflammatory disease in hospitalized patients, including higher rates of antibiotic treatment failure, longer hospital stay, and increased need for surgical intervention. Abstract Introduction Our objective was to compare the severity of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in ...

Association of Elevated C‐Reactive Protein in Term Newborns With Neonatal Factors and Gut Microbiota

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Plasma C‐reactive protein (CRP) is widely used to assess neonatal infection, although mild, unexplained elevations are common in healthy newborns. We examined relationships between non‐infectious CRP levels and neonatal factors, and early gut microbiota composition in term infants.

Characterization of vaginal microbiota in Thai women

PeerJ, 2018
Background The vaginal microbiota (VMB) plays a key role in women’s reproductive health. VMB composition varies with ethnicity, making it necessary to characterize the VMB of the target population before interventions to maintain and/or improve the vaginal health are undertaken.

Novel therapeutic targets for chronic visceral pain in gastrointestinal disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Chronic visceral pain imposes a major clinical challenge in gastroenterology and beyond, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life. However, limited understanding of its complex, multifaceted pathophysiology, encompassing both peripheral and central mechanisms, continues to impede the development of effective management strategies.

The Vaginal Microbiota and Urinary Tract Infection [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2016
ABSTRACT The vagina is a key anatomical site in the pathogenesis of urinary tract infection (UTI) in women, serving as a potential reservoir for infecting bacteria and a site at which interventions may decrease the risk of UTI.
