There have been number microbiome profiling studies identify vaginal microbiomes suggestive preterm healthy outcome. However, on pregnancy are sparse with none performed Nigeria. Moreover, few considered concurrent impact steroid hormones We assessed two key determinants progression gain deeper understanding...
Abstract Steroid hormones are one of the presumed modulators Lactobacillus abundance in vaginal epithelium. We set out to characterize microbiome (VMB) and also provide an in-depth understanding relative contribution estradiol (E2) progesterone (P1) shaping Nigerian women (n = 38) who experienced both uncomplicated term delivery preterm using samples longitudinally collected during pregnancy (17–21, 27–31, 36–41 weeks gestation) 6 postpartum.
