- Title

- Authors
Witkin, SS; Moron, AF; Linhares, IM; Skupski, DW
- Abstract
Pregnancy history Pregnancy history is relevant in vaginal microbiome analyses. Investigations exploring associations between vaginal microbiome composition and pregnancy outcome must be cognizant of the pregnancy history of their subjects, including the presence of prior early pregnancy losses. Detailed knowledge of how host genetics, prior pregnancy and infection history act as modifiers to the microbiome, and affect pregnancy progression and outcome, is by no means complete.
