Comparative genomics of human Lactobacillus crispatus isolates reveals genes for glycosylation and glycogen degradation: Implications for in vivo dominance of the vaginal microbiota

C. van der Veer, R. Hertzberger, S. Bruisten, H. Tytgat, J. Swanenburg, A. de Kat Angelino-Bart, F. Schuren, D. Molenaar, G. Reid, H. de Vries, R. Kort

The paper compares Lactobacillus crispatus isolates from healthy and dysbiotic vaginal microbiota, finding genetic differences linked to glycogen metabolism and potential microbiota-host interactions.
