Diverse vaginal microbiome was associated with pro-inflammatory vaginal milieu among pregnant women in Uganda
Human Microbiome Journal(2020)
摘要
Vaginal microbiota has been postulated as a key contributor to the disproportionately higher HIV acquisition risk in women. The commensal bacterial communities in the vaginal tract have been implicated in HIV pathogenesis, with strict anaerobes such as Gardnerella and Prevotella causing inflammation and increased frequency of HIV target cells. Young African women are up to six times more likely to be infected with HIV than their male counterparts. The underlying biological mechanisms for increased susceptibility to HIV infection are not fully known, particularly among pregnant women who are also at risk of transmitting the infection to their unborn babies.
