Abstract The microbiome plays a critical role in the process of conception and the outcomes of pregnancy. Disruptions in microbiome homeostasis in women of reproductive age can lead to various pregnancy complications, which significantly impact maternal and fetal health. Recent studies have associated the microbiome in the female reproductive tract (FRT) with assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes, and restoring microbiome balance has been shown to improve fertility in infertile couples. This review provides an overview of the role of the microbiome in female reproductive health, including its implications for pregnancy outcomes and ARTs. Additionally, recent advances in the use of microbial biomarkers as indicators of pregnancy disorders are summarized. A comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of the microbiome before and during pregnancy and its impact on reproductive health will greatly promote maternal and fetal health. Such knowledge can also contribute to the development of ARTs and microbiome-based interventions.
期刊介绍：
Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics (GPB) is the official journal of the Beijing Institute of Genomics, Chinese Academy of Sciences / China National Center for Bioinformation and Genetics Society of China. It aims to disseminate new developments in the field of omics and bioinformatics, publish high-quality discoveries quickly, and promote open access and online publication. GPB welcomes submissions in all areas of life science, biology, and biomedicine, with a focus on large data acquisition, analysis, and curation. Manuscripts covering omics and related bioinformatics topics are particularly encouraged. GPB is indexed/abstracted by PubMed/MEDLINE, PubMed Central, Scopus, BIOSIS Previews, Chemical Abstracts, CSCD, among others.
