Bacterial Vaginosis: What Do We Currently Know?

Linda Abou Chacra et al.

Summary: The vaginal microbiome is an important part of the human microbiome, characterized by unique conditions. Increased diversity in the microbiota can lead to dysbiosis such as bacterial vaginosis, with significant health consequences. Diagnosis and treatment methods are evolving, and research on this topic is becoming increasingly important.

In vitro interactions within a biofilm containing three species found in bacterial vaginosis (BV) support the higher antimicrobial tolerance associated with BV recurrence

Aliona S. Rosca et al.

Summary: This study investigated the role of interactions between bacterial species in multi-species biofilms in bacterial vaginosis (BV) in relation to antimicrobial tolerance. The results showed that when these species were co-cultured, they could synergistically increase resistance to antibiotics.

Characteristics associated with Lactobacillus iners-dominated vaginal microbiota

Juliano Novak et al.

Summary: The study in Brazilian women of reproductive age found associations between L. iners-dominated microbiota with having multiple sexual partners, detection of Candida sp. in vaginal smears, lack of condom use, lower educational levels, and diet with milk/dairy intake. These findings suggest that unprotected sex practices and certain sociodemographic factors may help identify women with suboptimal protective properties of L. iners-dominated microbiota, warranting further investigation.

Clustering Analysis of the Multi-Microbial Consortium by Lactobacillus Species Against Vaginal Dysbiosis Among Ecuadorian Women

David Pacha-Herrera et al.

Summary: The vaginal microbiota plays a crucial role in protecting women, with the probiotic activity provided by individual lactobacillus species and their multi-microbial interactions. This study analyzed the prevalence of five vaginal lactobacilli among healthy women and those with bacterial vaginosis (BV) or aerobic vaginitis (AV). The findings showed that Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus jensenii, and Lactobacillus crispatus had the highest normalized importance values in protecting against vaginal dysbiosis, with L. acidophilus and L. jensenii exhibiting statistical significance. Additionally, a strong multi-microbial consortium of L. iners, L. jensenii, L. gasseri, and L. acidophilus was found to protect against AV and BV.

Research Progress on the Correlation Between Gardnerella Typing and Bacterial Vaginosis

Hanyu Qin et al.

Summary: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common infectious disease in women of reproductive age, characterized by an imbalance in the vaginal microbiome. Gardnerella spp. are considered a major cause of BV, but they can also be detected in the vaginal microbiome of healthy women. Recent studies have identified three new species of Gardnerella. This review discusses the types, genetic diversity, and correlation between different Gardnerella spp. and BV.

Cysteine dependence of Lactobacillus iners is a potential therapeutic target for vaginal microbiota modulation

Seth M. Bloom et al.

Summary: The composition of vaginal microbiota has a significant impact on reproductive health. Lactobacillus iners-dominated communities are associated with poorer outcomes. This study reveals that the growth of L. iners is dependent on L-cysteine, and the concentration of cysteine correlates with Lactobacillus abundance in vivo. Combining a cystine uptake inhibitor with metronidazole can suppress L. iners growth in favor of L. crispatus.

Towards a deeper understanding of the vaginal microbiota

Michael France et al.

Summary: The vaginal microbiota plays a crucial role in vaginal health, with lactobacilli being dominant but other microbes also present. Lack of lactobacilli is associated with adverse health outcomes. The mechanisms behind these associations are not well understood, and more research on causative relationships is needed.

Metronidazole treatment rapidly reduces genital inflammation through effects on bacterial vaginosis-associated bacteria rather than lactobacilli

Eric Armstrong et al.

Summary: The study found that after BV treatment, the vaginal microbiota shifted to dominance by Lactobacillus species, but this change was primarily driven by a decrease in BV-associated bacteria. Although there were minor increases in Lactobacillus species after treatment, they were not independently associated with reduced inflammation.

Insight into the ecology of vaginal bacteria through integrative analyses of metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data

Michael T. France et al.

Summary: This study characterized the genetic composition and transcriptional activities of vaginal microbiota in healthy women to determine the factors that drive vaginal community composition. The results show that species abundance does not always indicate its transcriptional activity and impending changes in community composition can be predicted from metatranscriptomic data. Additionally, the degradation of mucin by communities not dominated by Lactobacillus may play a role in their association with adverse health outcomes. The transcriptional activities of L. crispatus, L. iners, and Gardnerella vaginalis vary with the taxonomic composition of the communities in which they reside.

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.

Summary: Gardnerella spp. is a hallmark of bacterial vaginosis, with four subgroups identified. Subgroup D is favored by negative frequency-dependent selection in the vaginal microbiome, maintaining its presence through a generalist lifestyle and minimal niche overlap with other Gardnerella spp.

Contribution of Lactobacillus iners to Vaginal Health and Diseases: A Systematic Review

Nengneng Zheng et al.

Summary: Lactobacillus iners, first described in 1999, is a prevalent bacterial species of the vaginal microbiome. While it has probiotic characteristics, it can also contribute to vaginal dysbiosis under certain conditions, leading to diseases. Further studies are needed to fully understand its role in vaginal health and diseases.

Analysis of similarities (ANOSIM) for 2-way layouts using a generalised ANOSIM statistic, with comparative notes on Permutational Multivariate Analysis of Variance (PERMANOVA)

Paul J. Somerfield et al.

Summary: ANOSIM is a robust non-parametric framework for comparing differences in resemblances among groups of samples. The generalised statistic R-O replaces the null hypothesis and describes resemblances among samples under an alternative model. The article discusses the use of the generalised statistic in various designs and provides examples of tests with ordered factors in marine ecological studies.

Prognosis of recurrent bacterial vaginosis based on longitudinal changes in abundance of Lactobacillus and specific species of Gardnerella

Essence Turner et al.

Summary: The study found that persistently high levels of Gardnerella Gsp07 were associated with poor clinical outcomes in refractory bacterial vaginosis patients, while persistently low levels of Gardnerella Gsp07 and G. swidsinskii / G. leopoldii were associated with remission. In most recurrent and remission patients, Lactobacillus species abundance increased 4-14 days after treatment initiation, with more sustained increases in remission patients. The findings suggest that targeting specific strains of Gardnerella may improve patient outcomes.
