TL;DR: T. vaginalis was associated with vaginal microbiota consisting of low proportions of lactobacilli and high proportions of Mycoplasma, Parvimonas, Sneathia, and other anaerobes, and the association was evaluated by exact logistic regression.

TL;DR: The vaginal mycobiome has become an emerging field of study as genomics tools are increasingly employed and the authors begin to appreciate the role these fungal communities play in human health and disease.

TL;DR: RNA-seq analysis of a mouse model of hematogenously disseminated candidiasis and episodes of vulvovaginal candidiasis in humans found evidence that many of the same signaling pathways are activated during mucosal and/or disseminated infections in vivo.

TL;DR: The data suggest that L. crispatus-dominated vaginal microbiota is thought to protect women from both development of bacterial vaginosis and incidence of sexually transmitted infections; however, the data suggest it may also be a risk factor for vaginal C. albicans detection.

TL;DR: The draft genome sequences of four C. albicans and one C. glabrata strains isolated from women with VVC indicate that these isolates are closely related; however, phylogenetic distances between them suggest that there may be genetic adaptations driven by unique host environments.
