Directed shift of vaginal microbiota induced by vaginal application of sucrose gel in rhesus macaques [PDF]

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
Objectives: Sucrose gel was used to treat bacterial vaginosis in a phase III clinical trial. However, the changes of vaginal flora after treatment were only examined by Nugent score in that clinical trial, While the vaginal microbiota of rhesus macaques ...

Postmenopausal Vaginal Microbiome and Microbiota [PDF]

Frontiers in Reproductive Health, 2022
The ovulatory cycle has a significant influence on the microbial composition, according to the action of estrogen and progesterone on the stratified squamous epithelium, due to an increase in epithelial thickness, glycogen deposition, and influence on local immunology.

Composition of Vaginal Microbiota in Pregnant Women With Aerobic Vaginitis [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Vaginal dysbiosis, such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and aerobic vaginitis (AV), is an important cause of premature birth in pregnant women. However, there is very little research on vaginal microbial distribution in AV compared to that in BV. This study aimed to analyze the composition of the vaginal microbiota of pregnant women with AV using microbial

Vaginal microbiota and preterm birth [PDF]

, 2023
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 and sPTB ...

The Vaginal Microbiota of Pregnant Women Varies with Gestational Age, Maternal Age, and Parity

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
The composition of the vaginal microbiota is heavily influenced by pregnancy and may factor into pregnancy complications, including spontaneous preterm birth.

Identification of shared bacterial strains in the vaginal microbiota of related and unrelated reproductive-age mothers and daughters using genome-resolved metagenomics.

PLoS ONE, 2022
It has been suggested that the human microbiome might be vertically transmitted from mother to offspring and that early colonizers may play a critical role in development of the immune system.

Healthy Vaginal Microbiota and Influence of Probiotics Across the Female Life Span

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Vaginal microbiota plays a central role in women’s health and reproduction. Vaginal microbiota is dynamic and shaped by hormonal shifts in each stage of a woman’s life from pre-puberty to postmenopause.

Role of the human vaginal microbiota in the regulation of inflammation and sexually transmitted infection acquisition: Contribution of the non-human primate model to a better understanding?

Frontiers in Reproductive Health, 2022
The human vaginal microbiota has a central role in the regulation of the female reproductive tract (FRT) inflammation. Indeed, on one hand an optimal environment leading to a protection against sexually transmitted infections (STI) is associated with a ...

Vaginal Microbiota and the Use of Probiotics [PDF]

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, 2008
The human vagina is inhabited by a range of microbes from a pool of over 50 species. Lactobacilli are the most common, particularly in healthy women. The microbiota can change composition rapidly, for reasons that are not fully clear. This can lead to infection or to a state in which organisms with pathogenic potential coexist with other commensals ...
