Research by IGENOMIX, a biotechnology company specializing in genetic research, entitled ‘Evidence that endometrial microbiota have an effect on implantation success or failure’, published internationally in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, confirms the existence of bacteria in the endometrium and associates a low presence of Lactobacillus in the uterus with a worse reproductive prognosis.
This study once again confirms the importance of the endometrium in gestation and points to the benefit of pre-testing uterine flora in patients with reproductive difficulties.
