Microbiota of the pregnant mouse: characterization of the bacterial communities in the oral cavity, lung, intestine, and vagina through culture and DNA sequencing

Abstract: Mice are frequently used as animal models for mechanistic studies of infection and obstetrical disease, yet characterization of the murine microbiota during pregnancy is lacking. The objective of this study was to therefore characterize the microbiotas of distinct body sites of the pregnant mouse that harbor microorganisms that could potentially invade the murine amniotic cavity leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes: vagina, oral cavity, intestine, and lung. The microbiotas of these body sites were characteriz… Show more
