The human microbiome (2017, background): “Associated with a greater abundance of anaerobic species and increased bacterial diversity, the fifth group is also linked to higher vaginal pH and Nugent scores, both of which are indicators of BV [15].”
Geography, Ethnicity or Subsistence-Specific Variations in Human Microbiome Composition and Diversity (2017, background): “Vaginal microbiome of North American-Asian, North American-white and North American-black women was dominated by Lactobacillus (51–96%) but in Belgium population vaginal microbiome was dominated by Bacteroides (34%) (Ravel et al., 2011; Verstraelen et al., 2016).”
The human milk microbiota: origin and potential roles in health and disease. (2013, neutral): “prises several different core groups [32].”
Identifying personal microbiomes using metagenomic codes (2015, background): “Relative to oral and gut environments, the skin and vaginal body sites are characterized by lower pH (21, 22) and support less diverse microbial communities (1).”
Characterization of the Diversity and Temporal Stability of Bacterial Communities in Human Milk (2011, result): “This is in stark contrast to the gut microbiome, where no highly abundant set of OTUs is shared among individuals [14], or the vaginal microbiome which comprises several different core groups [15].”
Cervicovaginal bacteria are a major modulator of host inflammatory responses in the female genital tract (2015, background): “The strong correlation between bacterial communities and genital inflammation that we demonstrated might help explain the increased genital immune activation seen in other sub-Saharan cohorts compared to those in the U.S. (Cohen et al., 2010).”
A systematic analysis of biosynthetic gene clusters in the human microbiome reveals a common family of antibiotics (2014, background): “The reference genome in which bgc66 resides is a vaginal isolate of Lactobacillus gasseri from a subject in Texas (L.gasseriJV-V03,HMPDACC);L.gasseri is oneof the fourLactobacillus species that commonly dominate the vaginal community (Ravel et al., 2011).”
Metabolic Reconstruction for Metagenomic Data and Its Application to the Human Microbiome (2012, methodology): “Taxonomic profiles detailing the abundances of microorganisms in these communities were available from the HMP’s 16S rRNA gene surveys [9], from mapping of metagenomic sequences to reference genomes [24], and from previous studies of the vaginal flora [7].”
The Impact of the Gut Microbiota on Human Health: An Integrative View (2012, neutral): “Distinct microbial communities are also found in the mouth (Nasidze et al., 2009), in the vagina (Ravel et al., 2011), and on the skin (e.g., Costello et al., 2009; Grice et al., 2009).”
Maturation of the Infant Microbiome Community Structure and Function Across Multiple Body Sites and in Relation to Mode of Delivery (2017, neutral): “1C; Table S4), which is consistent with previous observations by ourselves and others 1,6,35 .”
The Female Urinary Microbiome: a Comparison of Women with and without Urgency Urinary Incontinence (2014, background): “In addition to Lactobacillus and Gardnerella, many of the genera detected in the urinary microbiome are often found in the vaginal tract, including Bifidobacterium, Enterococcus, Actinomyces, Prevotella, and Atopobium (13, 20).”
A Guide to Enterotypes across the Human Body: Meta-Analysis of Microbial Community Structures in Human Microbiome Datasets (2013, background): “[26] reported enterotypes in the vagina based on the abundances of bacterial species (as opposed to genera used in gut studies).”
