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.

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 ...

Potential Role of Vaginal Microbiota in Ovarian Cancer Carcinogenesis, Progression and Treatment

Pharmaceutics, 2023
Ovarian cancer represents one of the most challenging gynecologic cancers which still has numerous unknowns on the underlying pathogenesis. In addition to the verified contributors such as genomic predisposition and medical history in the carcinogenesis,

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

Large-scale characterisation of the pregnancy vaginal microbiome and sialidase activity in a low-risk Chinese population

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2021
Vaginal microbiota-host interactions are linked to preterm birth (PTB), which continues to be the primary cause of global childhood mortality. Due to population size, the majority of PTB occurs in Asia, yet there have been few studies of the pregnancy ...

Maternal vaginal fluids play a major role in the colonization of the neonatal intestinal microbiota

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
BackgroundCaesarean section (CS) is associated with newborns’ health risks due to the blocking of microbiome transfer. The gut microbiota of CS-born babies was different from those born vaginally, which may be attributed to reduced exposure to maternal ...

Parity and gestational age are associated with vaginal microbiota composition in term and late term pregnancies

EBioMedicine, 2022
Summary: Background: Vaginal microbiota and its potential contribution to preterm birth is under intense research. However, only few studies have investigated the vaginal microbiota in later stages of pregnancy or at the onset of labour.
