Degradation of resistant α-1,4-glucan by vaginal Gardnerella species is associated with bacterial vaginosis

R. Hertzberger, S. Morselli, S. Botschuijver, L. Himschoot, S. Bruisten, L. Steenbergen, W. Lewis, P. Cools, R. Kort

This study shows Gardnerella species degrade resistant α-1,4-glucan in vitro and associate with bacterial vaginosis, suggesting amylase activity as a therapeutic target.

Glycan cross-feeding drives mutualism between Fusobacterium and the vaginal microbiota

K. Agarwal, L. Robinson, J. Perry, L. Foster, H. Lin, B. Tortelli, V. P. O Brien, H. Reno, N. Gilbert, W. Lewis, A. Lewis

This study shows that sialidase activity enables Fusobacterium to exploit sialoglycans, promoting its colonization and mutualistic interactions with the vaginal microbiota, which contributes to dysbiosis.
