Objectives Although persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major cause of cervical squamous intra-epithelial neoplasia, the relationship between vaginal microbiota and different grades of squamous intra-epithelial neoplasia is not well established. We explored the possible relationship between the vaginal microbiota and the progression of cervical squamous intra-epithelial neoplasia. Methods We evaluated 69 women who attended the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University. The vaginal bacterial composition of three groups of women was characterized by deep sequencing of bar-coded 16S rRNA gene fragments (V3-4) using Illumina MiSeq. Exclusion criteria were any previous hysterectomy, history of cervical or other lower genital cancer, and/or destructive therapy of the cervix. Women who had autoimmune disorders, who were HIV positive, who received antibiotics within 15 days of sampling, or who had engaged in sexual intercourse or douching within 48 hours prior to sampling were also excluded. P values for age and proportions of organisms were calculated using one-way ANOVA and p values for HPV status and community state types (CSTs) were calculated using a chi(2)test. Results The vaginal bacterial composition of three groups of women, those without an intra-epithelial lesion or malignancy (n=31), those with a low-grade squamous intra-epithelial lesion (LSIL) (n=22), and those with a high-grade squamous intra-epithelial lesion (HSIL) (n=16) were analyzed.Lactobacilluswas the most dominant genus overall.PrevotellaandStreptococcuswere increased in the HSIL group. Cervical disease progression was associated with the prevalence of high-risk HPV infection. Squamous intra-epithelial neoplasia converted the vaginal bacterial community structure from CSTs IV to II. Microbiota diversity was more pronounced in CST types II and IV (p
