Genomic insights into the potency and functional roles of Lactobacillus species in term and preterm births
The vaginal microbiome, typically dominated by Lactobacillus species, plays a key role in reducing the risk of preterm birth (PTB) by protecting against infections. In this study, we sequenced 133 Lactobacillus genomes isolated from the reproductive tracts of pregnant Indian women. Genomic analysis identified genes linked to pathogen resistance and anti-inflammatory functions. Further proteome analysis of cell-free supernatant revealed antimicrobial properties, including lysin and bacteriocin, while antibacterial tests confirmed their ability to inhibit reproductive tract pathogens. These findings suggest that Lactobacillus strains protect against harmful microbes, potentially reducing infection risks and PTB. This Lactobacillus consortium holds promise for developing biotherapeutics aimed at improving maternal health.
期刊介绍:
Genomics is a forum for describing the development of genome-scale technologies and their application to all areas of biological investigation.
As a journal that has evolved with the field that carries its name, Genomics focuses on the development and application of cutting-edge methods, addressing fundamental questions with potential interest to a wide audience. Our aim is to publish the highest quality research and to provide authors with rapid, fair and accurate review and publication of manuscripts falling within our scope.
