OBJECTIVE: The causes of idiopathic infertility are still not known; however, it may be associated with microbial etiologies. The present study examines the vaginal microbiota of infertile as well as fertile women longitudinally.
METHODOLOGY: The study was presented and accepted by the Institutional Ethical Committee of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, Katra, Jammu and Kashmir (India). An observational, prospective, multicenteric investigation was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Government Medical College Jammu, and its affiliated hospitals in Jammu and Kashmir (India). In order to examine the microbial composition, a cohort of 80 female individuals were involved in the screening process. The investigation involved sequencing of the V3-V4 region of 16S rRNA gene, which was subsequently analyzed using the Mothur pipeline.
RESULTS: The study revealed that the vaginal microbiota of infertile women differed from that of healthy women who had previously given birth without any complications. Both populations have variations in their alpha as well as beta diversity and taxonomical composition. The microbial profiles in the cases of infertility are characterized by elevated levels of Gardnerella, Prevotella, Atopobium, and Enterococcus whereas a higher level of Lactobacillus iners was observed in case of fertile women.
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, it can be inferred that the composition of the vaginal microbiome potentially exerts a significant influence on females afflicted with idiopathic infertility.
