Temporal Dynamics of the Vaginal Microbiome and Host Immune Markers Before, During, and After Metronidazole Treatment for Bacterial Vaginosis

This study examines the vaginal microbiome and immune markers before, during, and after metronidazole treatment for bacterial vaginosis, identifying distinct phases and highlighting the need for probiotics to maintain microbial balance.

VIRGO2: Unveiling the Functional and Ecological Complexity of the Vaginal Microbiome with an Enhanced Non-Redundant Gene Catalog

This study introduces VIRGO2, an enhanced gene catalog for the vaginal microbiome, revealing new bacterial species, mycobiome features, and gene expression patterns.

SpeciateIT and vSpeciateDB: Novel, fast and accurate per sequence 16S rRNA gene taxonomic classification of vaginal microbiota

The paper introduces speciateIT, a fast and accurate tool for taxonomic classification of 16S rRNA gene sequences, and vSpeciateDB, a specialized reference database for vaginal microbiota.

High-resolution functional description of vaginal microbiomes in health and disease

The paper develops metagenomic community state types (mgCSTs) to describe vaginal microbiomes by integrating composition and function, identifying associations with health outcomes and functional capabilities.

VIRGO, a comprehensive non-redundant gene catalog, reveals extensive within community intraspecies diversity in the human vagina

The paper introduces VIRGO, a gene catalog for the vaginal microbiome, revealing high intraspecies diversity in vaginal communities.
