Recent Advances in Understanding the Microbiology of the Female Reproductive Tract and the Causes of Premature Birth
Data derived from molecular microbiological investigations of the human vagina have led to the discovery of resident bacterial communities that exhibit marked differences in terms of species composition. All undergo dynamic changes that are likely due to intrinsic host and behavioral factors. Simila...
