Vaginal microbial dynamics and pathogen colonization in a humanized microbiota mouse model
Abstract Vaginal microbial composition is associated with differential risk of urogenital infection. Although Lactobacillus spp. are thought to confer protection against infection, the lack of in vivo models resembling the human vaginal microbiota remains a prominent barrier to mechanistic discovery...
