Bacterial vaginosis and its association with infertility, endometritis, and pelvic inflammatory disease

Jacques Ravel et al.

Summary: Bacterial vaginosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and endometritis can lead to infertility due to factors such as inflammation, immune response, bacterial toxins, and increased risk of sexually transmitted infections. Diagnosing and treating these conditions before attempting conception may improve outcomes of natural and assisted reproduction for symptomatic women.

Lactic acid-containing products for bacterial vaginosis and their impact on the vaginal microbiota: A systematic review

Erica L. Plummer et al.

Summary: The study reviewed the effects of intravaginal lactic acid-containing products on BV cure and vaginal microbiota composition. The results indicated a lack of high-quality evidence to support the use of lactic acid-containing products for BV cure or vaginal microbiota modulation, suggesting the need for further rigorous randomized trials.

Tilapia Piscidin 4 (TP4) Reprograms M1 Macrophages to M2 Phenotypes in Cell Models of Gardnerella vaginalis-Induced Vaginosis

Chia-Wen Liu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that TP4 can attenuate the virulence of G. vaginalis by inducing resolving M2c and tissue repair M2a macrophage polarizations. TP4 switches M1 macrophages toward a resolving M2c phenotype via the MAPK/ERK pathway and IL-10-STAT3 signaling. Additionally, TP4-treated VK2 cells induce tissue repair M2a macrophages by upregulating TSG-6 and subsequently activating STAT6.
