Here, we describe the first placebo-controlled trial of vaginal microbiota transplantation (VMT) in women with asymptomatic dysbiosis without the use of antibiotic pretreatment. Importantly, we also describe the implementation of a donor program and banking of donor cervicovaginal secretions (CVS) while retaining sample viability, which is crucial to allow for scale-up and confirmatory quality testing. By metagenome sequencing, we demonstrate that VMT provided a significant increase in combined ...
