Several conditions, such as preterm birth and bacterial vaginosis, are associated with the presence of bacteria such as Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae. However, the presence of these microbes is not always associated with pathology. For example, G. vaginalis and A. vaginae are present in women with and without symptoms of bacterial vaginosis. 1–3 Advances in genomic sequencing methods have resulted in multiple studies focused on identifying and classifying vaginal microbes to help solve some of these microbe-associated clinical puzzles. Characterization of the vaginal microbiota via metagenomic sequencing has largely supported the long-standing dogma that low microbial diversity and Lactobacillus species are most predominant among women of reproductive age, regardless of geographic location, race, or ethnicity. 4 However, the proportion of women with different types of Lactobacillus and non-Lactobacillus-dominant vaginal microbiomes varies by age, race, ethnicity, and geographic location. 3, 5, 6Lactobacillus crispatus is most prevalent among non-Hispanic white women and Lactobacillus iners is more prevalent among Asian, Hispanic, and African American women in the United States. 5 In addition,* 40% of Hispanic and African American women have diverse vaginal microbiomes comprised of complex microbial communities, with few to no Lactobacillus present. 3, 5 The type of microbial community a women has can be variable and transitions between community types are common. 7, 8 Shifts in microbial communities may occur throughout the menstrual cycle, with sexual activity, and pregnancy. 7–9 In this issue of the Journal of Women’s Health, Wells et al. report a systematic review of studies investigating the vaginal microbiome among US black women. 10 Of the research studies identified, most studies evaluated differences in the vaginal microbiome among black women related to bacterial vaginosis, HIV infection, and preterm birth. Regardless of the clinical outcome being studied, almost all studies reported a significant number of black women with Lactobacillus and non-Lactobacillus-dominant microbiota in affected and unaffected groups. As previously reported, L. iners was the most common Lactobacillus species present among black women across all studies. The authors also report diverse microbial
