Is there a placental microbiota? A critical review and re-analysis of published placental microbiota datasets

18 Mar 2023

Abstract excerpt

The existence of a placental microbiota is debated. The human placenta has historically been considered sterile and microbial colonization was associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Yet, recent DNA sequencing investigations reported a microbiota in typical human term placentas. However, this detected microbiota could represent background DNA or delivery-associated contamination. Using fifteen publicly...
