With the advent of omics technology and the improved culturing of anaerobic microbes, there is a good understanding of the microorganisms present in a healthy and diseased vagina. This has led to the identification of a select few species associated with health. However, the origin of these species and how they reach the vagina remains unclear, as does their timing of colonization. In an effort to create badly needed therapies for women, these gaps in knowledge need to be addressed.
随着组学技术的出现以及厌氧微生物培养技术的改进，人们对健康和患病阴道中存在的微生物有了很好的了解。这导致了一些与健康相关的特定物种的鉴定。然而，这些物种的起源、它们如何到达阴道以及它们的定植时间仍不清楚。为了努力为女性创造急需的治疗方法，这些知识空白需要得到解决。
