Objectives
To our knowledge, there is no systematic review addressing lack of
representation of known pathogens, such as GBS, associated with
pregnancy complications in the existing vaginal microbiome literature.
Therefore, this systematic review was conducted to: 1) determine how
often GBS is reported in studies of the vaginal microbiome during
pregnancy, and 2) analyze methods used to identify potential
methodological bias for GBS reporting or underrepresentation in vaginal
microbiome studies during pregnancy.
