Abstract

Significance: The human indigenous microbial communities (microbiota) play critical roles in health and may be especially important for mother and fetus during pregnancy. Using a case-control cohort of 40 women, we characterized weekly variation in the vaginal, gut, and oral microbiota during and after pregnancy. Microbiota membership remained relatively stable at each body site during pregnancy. An altered vaginal microbial community was associated with preterm birth; this finding was corroborated by an analysis of samples from an additional cohort of nine women. We also discovered an abrupt change in the vaginal microbiota at delivery that persisted in some cases for at least 1 y. Our findings suggest that pregnancy outcomes might be predicted by features of the microbiota early in gestation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
