IntroductionCervicovaginal dysbiosis can lead to infection-associated spontaneous preterm birth. ObjectiveTo determine whether vaginal Lactobacillus species, L. crispatus and L. jensenii, differentially metabolise glucose, L- and/or D-lactate to propagate their survival/dominance. MethodsBacteria were incubated anaerobically for 24h at 37{degrees}C, with 13Cu-glucose, 13C3-D-lactate or 13C3-L-lactate (singularly or combined) for 24h. 13C-spectra were acquired using a 9.4T NMR spectrometer. ResultsL. crispatus and L. jensenii (n=6 each) metabolised 13C-glucose to 13C-lactate and 13C-acetate. L. jensenii converted more 13C3-D- or 13C3-L-lactate to 13C-acetate than L. crispatus, p<0.001. ConclusionConversion of glucose and lactate to acetate by L. jensenii compared to L. crispatus, suggests a possibly important pathomechanism of dysbiosis and infection-associated spontaneous preterm birth.
