The Vaginal Microbiota in Health and Disease
UMD OMICS DAY - May 22, 2012
The Human Microbiota
The importance of the human microbiota in health and disease is now well-established.
Without understanding the interactions between our human and microbial genomes, it is impossible to obtain a complete picture of our biology
Our adult bodies harbor ~10 times more microbial cells than human cells – a significant number of these species have not been successfully grown in culture
The “human genome” is an amalgam of human genes and the genes of our microbial partners
The mechanisms are not well characterized: low pH (≤4.5) lactate other organic acids bacteriocins others
Albert Siegmund Gustav Döderlein, [German obstetrician and gynecologist, 1860–1941],
first described the “Döderlein bacillus” in 1894.
Common wisdom about the human vagina
Lactobacillus spp. are characteristic of vaginal microbiota in “normal” healthy reproductive age women.
Growth of non-indigenous organisms, including pathogens, is restricted.
Taxonomic Marker Genes - 16S rRNA gene
16S rRNA
Microbial identification
16S rRNA gene - Universal
16S rRNA ➙ Bacteria and Archaea
16S rRNA gene nucleotide sequence is phylogenetically informative - One sequence - one species
cpn60 (Chaperonin-60, HSP60, GroEL) or recA are also good alternatives
454 Pyrosequencing
The vaginal microbiota in asymptomatic women
• Four ethnic groups equally represented:
• Caucasian, Black, Hispanic, Asian
• Physician-collected mid-vaginal swabs
• Vaginal pH measurements (Inverness VpH glove)
• Nugent’s Gram stain scores
• Questionnaire (health and sexual history, hygiene...)
• Determine bacterial community composition by 454 pyrosequencing of
barcoded V1-V2 16S rRNA gene

Vaginal community state types (CST)
Ravel et al. The vaginal microbiome of reproductive age women. PNAS. 2011. 108 Suppl 1, 4680–4687.
• Five community state types that differ in their microbial composition and abundance
• Community state type IV lacks significant number of Lactobacillus

CST II(L. gasseri)
CST IV
• Several microbial community states are found in human vaginas that differ in terms of
bacterial species composition/abundance
• The frequency of each CST differs among women of different ethnicity
• At any given time, about 25% of women are in a non-lactobacillus state.
• How long does this state persist over time? How frequently does the vaginal microbiota
of a women is in this state?
Conclusions
Longitudinal studies of the vaginal microbiota
33 women self-collected vaginal smears and swabs were obtained twice-weekly (1,107 samples total) for 16 weeks
Daily diaries mailed to the lab weekly
Analyze community composition by 454 pyrosequencing of barcoded 16S rRNA genes (V1-V2 region)
Longitudinal studies of the vaginal microbiotaStudy design
1063 samples extracted (out of 1,107)
>3.5 million sequence reads of the V1-V2 region of 16S rRNA gene (avg. 240-316 bp)

Conclusions - Implications
Microbiome is somewhat unique/personalized to a women (or group of women)
Different women, different kinds of communities
Different women, different changes over time
Understanding these changes has major implications in increasing diagnosis accuracies, hence decrease disease prevalence, as well as predicting susceptibility and risk to infections.
Might have to rethink women’s health and treatments
Future: personalized treatment - use prior information and prescribe treatment
