Resident microbes shape the vaginal epithelial glycan landscape

2022-02-24

Abstract excerpt

Epithelial cells are covered in carbohydrates. This glycan coat or “glycocalyx” interfaces directly with microbes, providing a protective barrier against potential pathogens. Bacterial vaginosis is a condition associated with adverse health outcomes in which bacteria reside in direct proximity to the vaginal epithelium. Some of these bacteria, including Gardnerella , produce glycosyl hydrolase enzymes. However, gl...
