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

2022-07-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The existence of a placental microbiota is under debate. The human placenta has historically been considered sterile and microbial colonization has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Yet, recent investigations using DNA sequencing reported a microbiota in human placentas from typical term pregnancies. However, this detected microbiota could represent background DNA contamination. U...
