PURPOSE: To identify specific bacterial communities in vaginal and endometrial microbiotas as biomarkers of implantation failure by comprehensively analyzing their microbiotas using next-generation sequencing. METHODS: We investigated α- a…
PURPOSE: The present study aimed to analyze the pregnancy outcomes of IVF patients presenting Lactobacillus-dominated microbiota (LDM) or non-Lactobacillus-dominated microbiota (NLDM) of their endometrium and to report cases who were treate…
Studies suggest that persisting intrauterine bacterial infectious conditions such as chronic endometritis potentially impair the embryo implantation process. The microbial environment in the female reproductive tract, however, remains large…
PURPOSE: The present study aimed to analyze the endometrial and vaginal microbiome among a Japanese infertile population by sequencing and the impact of the endometrial and vaginal environment on implantation. METHODS: In total, 102 infert…
