Microbiota uterină – un posibil nou „inculpat” în cazul pacientelor infertile

Current knowledge asserts that microbial structures are present in niches considered traditionally sterile and, consequently, the functions assigned to the human microbiota are to be reanalyzed. When considering the uterine segment of the microbiome, the data reported by the authors who studied this subject differ greatly, especially in terms of germ weight, even though there is agreement for the presence of the main actors, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria. The exploration of the uterine flora and the identification of some pathology at this level are mandatory in infertile patients with repeated implantation failure. The alterations of the uterine microbiota can create the premises for the development of chronic endometritis and uterine dysbiosis.
