Resolution of glycogen and glycogen-degrading activities reveals correlates of Lactobacillus crispatus dominance in a cohort of young African women

K. V. Lithgow, A. Cochinamogulos, K. Muirhead…·L. K. Sycuro

The paper investigates glycogen and glycogen-degrading enzyme activity in vaginal microbiomes, finding that pullulanase activity correlates with Lactobacillus crispatus dominance and lactic acid production in young African women.

Protease activities of vaginal Porphyromonas species disrupt coagulation and extracellular matrix in the cervicovaginal niche

K. V. Lithgow, V. C. H. Buchholz, E. Ku…·L. K. Sycuro

This study identifies protease activities in vaginal Porphyromonas species that degrade extracellular matrix and coagulation factors, potentially contributing to preterm birth and bacterial vaginosis.
