Distinct vaginal microbiome and metabolome profiles in women with preterm delivery following cervical cerclage by Jun Zhang, Li Li, Mengjun Zhang, Jiaoning Fang, Zhimin Xu, Yijing Zheng, Zhi Lin, Mian Pan

“…In addition, vaginal metabolomics-based liquid chromatography–Orbitrap–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-Orbitrap-MS/MS) found that the alteration in vaginal metabolites in pregnant women with PTB is involved in starch and sucrose metabolism; arginine and praline metabolism; galactose metabolism; purine metabolism; arginine metabolism; tryptophan metabolism and N-glycan biosynthesis; cysteine and methionine metabolism; taurine and hypotaurine metabolism; amino acid metabolism; propanoate metabolism; valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis; glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism; and steroid hormone biosynthesis. These results elaborated that distinct vaginal microbiome and metabolome profiles in women with preterm delivery following cervical cerclage provide valuable information for establishing the prediction models for PTB.…”
