Summary

This purpose of this study is to collect vaginal microbial samples of postmenopausal women to assess the optimal conditions for cultivation and storage of the vaginal microbiota. These samples will subsequently be used to develop a high-throughput assay that mimicks the vaginal microbial community of postmenopausal women. This assay will be used to select and screen compounds that can affect the vaginal microbiota and subsequently affect related symptoms such as vaginal dryness.
