How vaginal microbes are linked to pregnancy complications

The findings of a recent study suggest that in bacterial vaginosis, certain vaginal microbes disrupt the protective glycans on vaginal epithelial cells, altering processes that mediate cell turnover, death and…

‘Hidden’ bacteria could explain recurrent urinary tract infections

The findings of a recent study indicate that effective treatments for recurrent UTIs may require the ability to penetrate human tissues.

A mother’s microbiota influences placental growth, mouse study shows

The findings of a recent study suggest that a mother’s gut microbiota influences fetal health by promoting placental growth and vascularization.

Can vaginal microbiota transfer influence a newborn’s health?

Larger studies with longer follow-ups are needed to assess whether and how VMT influences neurodevelopment.
