Impact of the Vaginal and Endometrial Microbiome Pattern on Assisted Reproduction Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Uterine microbiota may be involved in reproductive health and disease. This study aims to describe and compare the vaginal and endometrial microbiome patterns between women who became pregnant and women who did not after in vitro fertilization.

The alpha and beta diversity of vaginal and endometrial samples were not statistically different betwee
