Exploring the Vaginal Microbiome During Pregnancy: Microbial Diversity, E. coli pathogenicity, and Links to Urinary Tract Colonization
2024-08-28
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>This study explores the role of the vaginal microbiota (VM) in the pathophysiology of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), which requires systematic screening and antibiotic treatment during pregnancy. We hypothesize that disruptions in the VM composition may promote the ascending colonization of bacteria from the gut to the urinary tract, reinforcing the existence of a gut-urogenital axis....
