Abstract
Studies of the correlation between women’s endometrial microbiota and human reproduction are still very recent. Nevertheless, this study aimed to analyze the most recent of such studies. The keywords ‘endometrial microbiota’ and ‘assisted reproduction’ were used to search for articles published in PubMed between 2017 and 2024. After applying both the inclusion and the exclusion criteria, 13 articles were selected for this narrative review. Most articles related the Lactobacillus bacteria positively to high pregnancy rates and negatively to higher miscarriage rates or recurrent implantation failures. In conclusion, the association of endometrial microbiota with Lactobacillus favors higher pregnancy rates, while several other microorganisms of various genera and species contribute to dysbiosis and thus may lead to recurrent implantation failures and miscarriages.
