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.
