Microbiome Composition and Function Drives Wound-Healing Impairment in the Female Genital Tract
22 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
The mechanism(s) by which bacterial communities impact susceptibility to infectious diseases, such as HIV, and maintain female genital tract (FGT) health are poorly understood. Evaluation of FGT bacteria has predominantly been limited to studies of species abundance, but not bacterial function. We therefore sought to examine the relationship of bacterial community composition and function with mucosal epithelial...
