Mobiluncus mulieris alters the transcriptomic profile of cervicovaginal epithelial cells, shedding light on molecular drivers of adverse reproductive outcomes

Abstract excerpt

The vaginal microbiota is critical for reproductive health, and its disruption, particularly the loss of Lactobacillus spp. and dominance of anaerobes such as Mobiluncus mulieris (community state type IV, CST IV), is associated with bacterial vaginosis, sexually transmitted infections, and adverse reproductive outcomes, including preterm birth (PTB). While Gardnerella spp. have been widely studied, the role of M....
