Characterization of vaginal microbiomes in clinician-collected bacterial vaginosis diagnosed samples

Hayden N. Brochu, Qimin Zhang, Kuncheng Song…·Lakshmanan K. Iyer

The paper uses 16S rRNA gene sequencing to characterize vaginal microbiomes in BV-diagnosed samples, showing strong concordance with PCR-based tests and identifying BV-associated microbial and metabolic signatures.
