Abstract excerpt
Changes in cervico-vaginal microbiota with Lactobacillus depletion and increased microbial diversity facilitate human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and might be involved in viral persistence and cancer development. To define the microbial Community State Types (CSTs) associated with high-risk HPV-persistence, we analysed 55 cervico-vaginal samples from HPV positive (HPV+) women out of 1029 screened women and...
