TY  - CHAP
AB - There is now substantial evidence implicating the vaginal microbiome in reproductive tract health and disease. As technology has developed, our ability to characterise the composition of the vaginal microbiome has improved providing new insights into how commensal and pathogenic microbes interact with the host to protect against, or potentiate pathology and disease. In this chapter we discuss the current understanding of what shapes the structure of the vaginal microbiome throughout a woman’s life span, how it can be characterised and how specific microbiota-host interactions at the mucosal interface may influence reproductive success or failure.
