Article Synopsis
- Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an imbalance in the vaginal microbiome, with low lactobacilli levels and high bacteria diversity, increasing risks for infections, complications, and preterm birth (PTB).
- The study explores metabolic diversity among BV-related bacteria, unveiling how certain bacteria interact and influence metabolite availability linked to BV and PTB risks.
- It identifies a commensal relationship that boosts acetate production and a mutualistic relationship among strains that affects outcomes, emphasizing the role of microbial interactions in understanding BV and PTB risk prediction.
