Influences of vaginal microbiota on human papillomavirus infection and host immune regulation: What we have learned? by Yuanyuan Wang, Raman Thakur, Qingli Shen, Yaojuan He, Changbin Chen

“…The change of vaginal microbiota has been observed using culture-independent methods such as next generation sequencing (NGS) technology, and its fluctuation was found to link with various endogenous and exogenous factors. Among them, a dynamic interplay between the vaginal microbiota and human papillomavirus (HPV) was found to be important in the acquisition and persistence of HPV and contributed to the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer (CC). …”
