Vaginal sex can change the urinary-tract microbiota of healthy men

The findings of a recent study suggest that vaginal bacteria can spread to the urinary tract of men and reshape the male urethral microbiota.

A mother’s vaginal microbes don’t influence her baby’s gut microbiota

The findings of a recent study show that a mother’s vaginal microbiota does not affect infant gut microbiota composition and development.

Pregnancy-induced changes to the gut microbiota may exacerbate inflammation

The findings of a new study reveal a microbe-immune axis that is disrupted in pregnant animals, suggesting potential therapeutic approaches for pregnancy-associated sepsis.

New analysis refutes the existence of a fetal microbiota

The findings of a new study support the ‘sterile womb’ hypothesis and may help scientists avoid pitfalls of contamination in the analysis of samples where microbes are expected to be…

Microbial signature may help identify women at risk for gestational diabetes

The findings of a new study suggest that biomarkers such as the gut microbiota composition may help develop diagnostics and therapeutic approaches for gestational diabetes.

Specific gut bacteria reduce ovarian cancer progression in mice

The findings of a recent study tie the gut microbiota to immune surveillance of ovarian cancer and may inform new treatment approaches.

Obese mice are protected against genital herpes — thanks to their microbiota

The findings of a new research suggest that obesity-induced changes in the vaginal microbiota can affect the immune responses against viral infection.

Recurrent infections and estrogen can shape the urogenital microbiota

New research indicates that recurrent urinary tract infections and estrogen can shape the urogenital microbiota in ways that may protect against recurrent infections.

Do maternal vaginal fluids improve the health of babies born by C-section?

If maternal-child microbial seeding improves health outcomes, it may be a public health strategy that could reduce the prevalence of C-section-associated diseases.

Imbalances in gut microbes linked to recurrent urinary tract infections

Recurrent UTIs are in part caused by alterations of the gut microbiota and different immune response to bacterial bladder colonization.
