Copper intrauterine device increases vaginal concentrations of inflammatory anaerobes and depletes lactobacilli compared to hormonal options in a randomized trial

Bryan P. Brown et al.

Summary: In this randomized trial, the authors compared the effects of a copper intrauterine device (Cu-IUD) and other contraceptive options on the vaginal environment after one and six months of use. They found that Cu-IUD use led to changes in vaginal microbiota that could potentially affect sexual and reproductive health. The study highlights the importance of understanding the impact of different contraceptive methods on vaginal bacteria and inflammation.

Microbiota regulation of viral infections through interferon signaling

Nurul I. Wirusanti et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the modulation of interferon response by gut microbiota and the mechanisms by which gut microbiota alters interferon expression in viral infections. It provides a basis for translating animal experimental evidence into human studies and identifies potential strategies for improving control of viral infections and viral vaccine efficacy through targeting the gut microbiota-IFN-virus axis.

HPV infection alters vaginal microbiome through down-regulating host mucosal innate peptides used by Lactobacilli as amino acid sources

Alizee Lebeau et al.

Summary: This study reveals a new viral immune evasion strategy in which HPV infection leads to downregulation of host mucosal innate peptides, which are in turn used by predominant Lactobacillus species as amino acid source, ultimately causing an imbalance in the vaginal flora.

Association between Cervical Microbiota and HPV: Could This Be the Key to Complete Cervical Cancer Eradication?

Eliano Cascardi et al.

Summary: This article focuses on the composition of the cervical microbiota and its interaction with human papillomavirus (HPV), aiming to identify the risk factors for developing Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia and discover new therapeutic strategies. The heterogeneity of the cervico-vaginal microbiota and its role in immunity, inflammation, and precancerous lesions of the cervical epithelium are discussed. Further research is needed to fully understand the relationship between microbiota, immunity, and HPV-related cervical tumors.

Lactobacillus crispatus M247 oral administration: Is it really an effective strategy in the management of papillomavirus-infected women?

Miriam Dellino et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate whether long term administration of oral Lactobacillus crispatus could restore eubiosis in women with HPV infections and achieve viral clearance. The results showed that patients receiving the long term oral probiotic had a higher likelihood of resolving HPV-related cytological anomalies compared to the control group. However, there was no significant difference in the percentage of HPV-negative patients between the two groups.

Miriam Dellino et al.

Summary: HPV infection is highly prevalent in younger individuals and is associated with neoplastic risks. This survey highlights the need for improved patient communication and support, leading to organizational changes in counseling and training. The survey serves as a foundation for further discussions on appropriate communication in the oncological context.

Cenote-Taker 2 democratizes virus discovery and sequence annotation

Michael J. Tisza et al.

Summary: Viruses are abundant and mysterious, with the majority of species yet to be discovered, and many genes in central databases labeled as 'hypothetical protein'. Cenote-Taker 2 is a tool for virus discovery and annotation, offering automatic annotation of sequence features and providing rich gene information.

Presence and Persistence of Putative Lytic and Temperate Bacteriophages in Vaginal Metagenomes from South African Adolescents

Anna-Ursula Happel et al.

Summary: The study of cervicovaginal samples from South African adolescents revealed the presence of different bacteriophage families in the vagina, with Siphoviridae being the most prevalent. Some bacteriophages targeting BV-associated bacteria were identified, indicating a potential impact in vivo. CRISPR loci and prophages showed high persistence within participants and were shared among adolescents, while the number of CRISPR loci and prophages were associated with vaginal microbiota stability and absence of BV. The findings suggest a common presence and potential interaction of (pro)phages in the female genital tract.
