Characterization of Microbiota in Endometrial Fluid and Vaginal Secretions in Infertile Women with Repeated Implantation Failure

Abstract: 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 largely undetermined in infertile patients with a history of repeated implantation failure (RIF). Using next-generation sequencing, we aimed to characterize the microbiota in the endometrial fluid (EF) and vaginal secretions (VS) in women with RIF. Twenty-eight infertile women wi… Show more

“…In that study, Lactobacillus dominance (>90% of all bacteria) correlated positively with embryo implantation, pregnancy and live birth rates among infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) [11]. Other studies have not detected any significant associations between endometrial microbiome and the treatment outcomes [4,[6][7][8][9][10]12,13].…”

“…Uterine microbiomes were investigated by NGS approaches in women subjected to ART [13][14][15], with either recurrent reproductive failure [16], repeated implantation failure [17], or affected by endometriosis [18] and endometrial polyps (with and without and chronic endometritis) [19]. Most of these studies were carried out by using sampling procedures that adopted trans-cervical sampling devices.…”
