Integrated Genetic and Functional Analysis of the Female Microbiome in a Flemish Cohort

NCT04319536 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 1000

Last updated 2021-01-27

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the project is to improve our knowledge on the stability and temporal dynamics of the Flemish female microbiome (vagina, skin and saliva) in relation to different lifestyle factors and environmental conditions and to establish certain individual and social risk factors that can influence the healthy microbiome. Therefore, microbial DNA from swabs will be isolated via commercially available DNA extraction kits, followed by Illumina MiSeq sequencing in order to identify the microbial species present in these samples. Special attention will go to microbial species that are overrepresented in the healthy populations as potential health promoting microbes (i.e. probiotics).
