Longitudinal dynamics of the human vaginal ecosystem across the reproductive cycle

E. K. Costello, D. B. DiGiulio, A. Robaczewska, L. Symul, R. J. Wong, G. M. Shaw, D. K. Stevenson, S. P. Holmes, D. S. Kwon, D. A. Relman

This study tracks changes in the vaginal microbiome and inflammation across the reproductive cycle, finding that childbirth disrupts microbial communities and reduces Lactobacillus dominance, with limited recovery over one year.

Microbiota Assembly, Structure, and Dynamics Among Tsimane Horticulturalists of the Bolivian Amazon

D. D. Sprockett, M. Martin, E. K. Costello, A. R. Burns, S. P. Holmes, M. Gurven, D. A. Relman

This study examines microbiota assembly in Tsimane infants and adults, finding that neutral processes dominate infant colonization, but are reduced in villages with more market access.
