Abstract:
Emerging research about the role of the gastro intestinal microbiota (GI) and host physiology provides mechanistic understanding that elucidates the relationship between diet and preterm birth (PTB). This presentation evaluates the current evidence about those relationships ( diet, the vaginal and GI microbiota and PTB). The studies that taken together suggest that diet modulates changes in the composition, stability and diversity of the vaginal and GI microbiota, resulting in microbial states that increase the likelihood of PTB. Understanding the critical role that diet, the vaginal and GI microbiota plays in PTB is essential for developing clinical interventions that leverage the capacity of the microbiota to optimize health outcomes.
