The Vaginal Microbiome in Women of Reproductive Age with Healthy Weight versus Overweight/Obesity

N. G. Allen, L. Edupuganti, D. J. Edwards, N. R. Jimenez, G. A. Buck, K. K. Jefferson, J. F. Strauss, Vaginal Microbiome Consortium, E. P. Wickham, J. M. Fettweis

This study compares the vaginal microbiome of overweight/obese and healthy-weight reproductive-aged women, finding higher alpha-diversity and lower Lactobacillus dominance in the overweight/obese group.

Unique roles of vaginal Megasphaera phylotypes in reproductive health

A. L. Glascock, N. R. Jimenez, S. Boundy, V. N. Koparde, J. P. Brooks, D. J. Edwards, J. F. Strauss, K. K. Jefferson, M. G. Serrano, G. A. Buck, Vaginal Microbiome Consortium, J. M. Fettweis

This study identifies two distinct Megasphaera phylotypes in the vaginal microbiome, showing different associations with bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and pregnancy outcomes.
