Published: April 2021

An 88-year-old male admitted with septic shoulder arthritis due to a gram-negative bacillus. The microorganism is identified by sequencing the 16 S rDNA gene as Sneathia sanguinegens. This is the first case described in the literature in a male, since so far only infections in women of childbearing age have been described.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how cervical load and bacterial DNA prevalence differ in pregnant women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM), particularly focusing on those with and without a history of cervical excisional treatment.
  • Women who had cervical excisional treatment showed higher cervical loads of specific bacterial DNA compared to those without such a history.
  • Additionally, the length of the excisional cone influenced the bacterial DNA levels, suggesting that longer cone lengths were associated with distinct microbiota changes.*

Background: Studies evaluating the association between the vaginal microbiota and miscarriage have produced variable results.

Objective: This study evaluated the association between periconceptual and first-trimester vaginal microbiota and women's risk for miscarriage.

Methods: At monthly preconception visits and at 9-12 weeks gestation, women collected vaginal swabs for molecular characterisation of the vaginal microbiota.

Sexual transmission of the urogenital microbiota may contribute to adverse sexual and reproductive health outcomes. The extent of sexual transmission of the urogenital microbiota is unclear as prior studies largely investigated specific pathogens. We used epidemiologic data and whole metagenome sequencing to characterize urogenital microbiota strain concordance between participants of a sexual network study.

Introduction: The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer globally. However, its microbial composition and association with the types of HPV infection remain elusive.

Methods: This study was designed to characterize the vaginal microbiota of 53 HPV-infected and 16 normal women (control group) by using high-throughput sequencing with the Illumina platform.
