Effects of reproductive tract microbiota during the success of in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer
Infertility affects one in six people worldwide, yet in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) result in live births in only 30–35% of cases. A vaginal and endometrial microbiota dominated by Lactobacillus species has been linked to improved IVF-ET outcomes, while bacterial imbalances (dysbiosis), involving Gardnerella vaginalis and Prevotella bivia, are associated with implantation failure. However, the precise role of reproductive tract microbiota in IVF-ET success remains unclear.
