Identification and characterization of bacterial glycogen-degrading enzymes in the vaginal microbiome

2021-07-19

Abstract excerpt

The healthy human vaginal microbiota is generally dominated by lactobacilli, and the transition to a more diverse community of anaerobic microbes is associated with health risks. Glycogen released by lysed epithelial cells is believed to be an important nutrient source in this environment. However, the mechanism by which vaginal bacteria metabolize glycogen is unclear, with evidence implicating both microbial and...
