Female fertility and the genital microbiota (the microbiome)

Key Points		see Q&A
200	Female samples were predominantly colonised by Lactobacillus species, particularly in the lower genital tract,
201	Male samples exhibited greater microbial diversity (including bacteria linked to bacterial vaginosis), with only limited evidence of inter-partner microbiota transmission
