🔬 Characterization of the Follicular Fluid Microbiome in Endometriosis Patients Undergoing In Vitro Fertilization
Excited to share this scientific poster exploring the follicular fluid microbiome in patients with endometriosis undergoing IVF and its potential association with oocyte maturation, fertilization, embryo quality, and reproductive outcomes.
✨ Key highlights:
* Reduced microbial diversity in endometriosis
* Distinct follicular fluid microbial composition
* Alterations in potentially beneficial microbial genera
* Identification of microbial biomarkers associated with endometriosis
* Exploration of relationships between specific microbes and IVF outcomes
* Functional prediction highlighting pathways potentially involved in metabolism, cellular processes, and immune function
This work highlights the emerging role of the reproductive tract microbiome in fertility and ART, while emphasizing the need for further research to understand how microbial signatures may influence oocyte and embryo development.
