Microbiome Composition and Function Drives Wound-Healing Impairment in the Female Genital Tract.

Microbiome Composition and Function Drives Wound-Healing Impairment in the Female Genital Tract.

The mechanism(s) by which bacterial communities impact susceptibility to infectious diseases, such as HIV, and maintain female genital tract (FGT) health are poorly understood. Evaluation of FGT bacteria has predominantly been limited to studies of species abundance, but not bacterial function. We t...
