Genital infection with Ureaplasma urealyticum and its effect on pregnancy

Daniela Roxana Matasariu et al.

Summary: The study found that the type of infectious agents in vaginal cultures varied among pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes, premature birth, or spontaneous abortion. Ureaplasma was the most commonly detected germ, regardless of gestational age. Further research is needed to confirm whether diagnosis and treatment based on laboratory results of vaginal infections can prevent premature birth, abortion, or chorioamnionitis.

Human genital tracts microbiota: dysbiosis crucial for infertility

M. A. Venneri et al.

Summary: The human body is inhabited by trillions of microbes, which are influenced by various endogenous and exogenous factors. Disruption of the microbial balance can lead to multiple diseases and impact fertility, and sexual intercourse between partners can also affect each other's microbial composition.

Does the Amniotic Fluid of Mice Contain a Viable Microbiota?

Andrew D. Winters et al.

Summary: The existence of amniotic fluid microbiota in mammals is controversial. This study analyzed the amniotic fluid of mice and found a modest DNA signal of bacteria, but no evidence of a viable microbiota. Although amniotic fluid may not be a source of microorganisms for in utero colonization, it may still contribute to fetal exposure to microbial components.

New Insights into the Diurnal Rhythmicity of Gut Microbiota and Its Crosstalk with Host Circadian Rhythm

Hongyu Wang et al.

Summary: The rhythmicity of the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in host physiology, metabolism, and health, and can regulate the host's circadian rhythm. Understanding the complex multilayer network of gut microbiota rhythmicity and its dependence on the host circadian clock and physiological status is important for the development of chronotherapies targeting the gut microbiota. However, further research is needed to uncover the formation mechanism of gut microbial rhythmicity, its beneficial effects on the host, and the dynamic microbial-host crosstalk.

The effect of concomitant histologic chorioamnionitis in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction

Michal Levy et al.

Summary: Pregnancies complicated by FGR with concomitant HC were associated with higher rates of adverse neonatal outcomes, including lower Apgar scores, increased neonatal death, and higher rates of composite adverse and severe adverse neonatal outcomes.

Batch effects account for the main findings of an in utero human intestinal bacterial colonization study

Marcus C. de Goffau et al.

Summary: The study found a batch effect that led to failure in correctly identifying Micrococcus and falsely assigning it to fetal samples. Furthermore, the particles shown in the micrographs were unlikely to be bacterial cells due to their size, and the microbes cultured from fetal samples differed significantly from those detected by sequencing.

Multiomics analysis reveals the presence of a microbiome in the gut of fetal lambs

Yanliang Bi et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that there is a microbiome present in the prenatal fetal gut, mainly composed of bacteria from Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Firmicutes phyla. Additionally, microbial metabolites and antibiotic resistance genes were also detected, indicating the presence of metabolically active microbiota and the potential transmission of antibiotic resistance genes from mother to fetus during gestation.

Clinical chorioamnionitis at term X: microbiology, clinical signs, placental pathology, and neonatal bacteremia implications for clinical care

Roberto Romero et al.

Summary: Clinical chorioamnionitis at term was diagnosed in approximately 63% of cases, with sterile intra-amniotic inflammation in 5%. Evidence of the fetal inflammatory response syndrome was frequently present, but microorganisms were detected in only 4.9% of cases based on cultures of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in neonatal blood.

Betamethasone as a potential treatment for preterm birth associated with sterile intra-amniotic inflammation: a murine study

Jose Galaz et al.

Summary: This study validated a model of HMGB1-induced preterm birth and investigated the preventive effect of betamethasone on preterm birth caused by sterile intra-amniotic inflammation in mice. The results demonstrated that betamethasone extended gestational length and reduced the rate of preterm birth, supporting its potential utility for treating women with sterile intra-amniotic inflammation.

Archita Mishra et al.

Summary: During the 2nd trimester of gestation, microbial signals were detected in fetal gut, skin, placenta, and lungs, contributing to fetal immune-priming. Live bacterial strains, including Staphylococcus and Lactobacillus, were identified in fetal tissues, activating memory T cells in the fetal mesenteric lymph node.
