Grant Activity:
Prediction of preterm birth using vaginal microbiology
Purpose:
Recently, our team developed a vaginal microbial DNA test that successfully predicted up to 45% of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) cases in mid-gestation pregnant women, the majority of whom were Caucasian (75%). Our next steps are to maximise the tests’ ability to predict sPTB in Aboriginal women, whose vaginal microbiology differs, and to use pre-pregnancy vaginal microbiology to predict sPTB risk in all Australian women prior to conception.
