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 ...

Vaginal microbiota and susceptibility to HIV [PDF]

AIDS, 2018
: Bacterial vaginosis, characterized by the replacement of the Lactobacillus-dominant microbiota with anaerobic bacteria and facultative Gram-negative rods, has been associated with adverse reproductive health outcomes including HIV acquisition. With the advent of newer molecular techniques, the vaginal microbiota can be investigated in more detail and

Microbiota and faecal microbiota transplant [PDF]

, 2021
As the range of disease states associated with the gut microbiome expands - and the mechanistic links between the gut microbiome and host physiology further deepens – so interest also grows in microbiome manipulation as medical therapy.

Vaginal microbiota networks as a mechanistic predictor of aerobic vaginitis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Aerobic vaginitis (AV) is a complex vaginal dysbiosis that is thought to be caused by the micro-ecological change of the vaginal microbiota. While most studies have focused on how changes in the abundance of individual microbes are associated with the emergence of AV, we still do not have a complete mechanistic atlas of the microbe-AV link.

Vaginal Acidity Affects Vaginal Microbiota in Postmenopausal Women [PDF]

, 2022
BACKGROUND: The changes in vaginal acidity impact the composition of the vaginal microbiota, either commensal or pathogenic. After menopause, the vaginal tract is more susceptible to infection. Current study was conducted to analyze the effect of vaginal

Maternal Bacterial Engraftment in Multiple Body Sites of Cesarean Section Born Neonates after Vaginal Seeding—a Randomized Controlled Trial

mBio, 2023
Children delivered by elective, prelabor Cesarean section (C-section) are not exposed to the birth canal microbiota and, in relation to vaginally delivered children, show altered microbiota development.

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.
