This study leverages non-invasive collection of vaginal samples and advanced high-throughput methods, such as 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, to quantify metabolic fluxes and pathways.

Abstract

Vaginal microbiome metabolite profiling is an integrated omics-based diagnostic framework that combines metabolic profiling with biochemical-functional remodeling to identify biochemical dysregulations associated with POI. This study leverages non-invasive collection of vaginal samples and advanced high-throughput methods, such as 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, to quantify metabolic fluxes and pathways. In POI, altered Lactobacillus predominance and specific metabolic derangements have been demonstrated, reflecting condition-specific microbial profiles. These integrated microbial-metabolite signatures enhance diagnostic accuracy beyond taxonomic profiling alone, suggesting strong predictive potential. Overall, this method is an emerging precision medicine strategy that integrates microbial and genetic data to advance early detection and therapeutic management of POI in at-risk youth (2)

Gut Microbiome-Derived Metabolites as Biomarkers for Insulin Resistance in Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes mellitus was a major pregnancy complication driven largely by insulin resistance, and its prevalence remained substantial worldwide, affecting about 4 to 16.5% of pregnancies, with a pooled global standardized prevalence of 14.0% in one meta-analytic estimate. This narrative review examined how gut...

Abstract B095: Characterizing the composition and diversity of the vaginal microbiome in ovarian cancer

Vaginal dysbiosis, Lactobacillus depletion with anaerobic bacterial enrichment, may be relevant to gynecologic cancer risk and prognosis, yet comprehensive microbiome characterization in ovarian cancer (OC) patients, particularly across racial groups, remains limited. We characterized the prevalence, composition,...

Multi-omics integration of the vaginal microbiome and inflammatory proteome for non-invasive prediction of infertility: a machine learning approach

The vaginal microbiome is a potent non-invasive biomarker for infertility, offering superior diagnostic accuracy compared to host inflammatory proteins, and this machine learning-based multi-omics approach provides a promising tool for early risk stratification and personalized reproductive management.

Vaginal microbiome and metabolome profiling identifies candidate signatures associated with persistent high-risk HPV infection

The role of vaginal microbiota dysbiosis in the progression of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is increasingly recognized. Yet, the factors determining why only a minority of infections persist and evolve into clinically significant disease remain poorly defined. From a large screening cohort of 4572 women, we...
