Abstract
- The role of fatty acids in shaping vaginal microbiota remains unclear. In an issue of Cell , Zhu et al. use genomic and transcriptomic analyses to reveal that oleic acid (OA) selectively inhibits L. iners while promoting L. crispatus , suggesting new strategies for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV).
