Abstract
The microbiome of females undergoes extensive remodeling during pregnancy,which is likely to have an impact on the health of both mothers and offspring.Nevertheless,large-scale integrated investigations characterizing microbiome dynamics across key body habitats are lacking.Here,we performed an exten-sive meta-analysis that compiles and analyzes microbiome profiles from>10,000 samples across the gut,vagina,and oral cavity of pregnant women from diverse geographical regions.We have unveiled unex-pected variations in the taxonomic,functional,and ecological characteristics of microbial communities throughout the course of pregnancy.The gut microbiota showed distinct trajectories between Western and non-Western populations.The vagina microbiota exhibited fluctuating transitions at the genus level across gestation,while the oral microbiota remained relatively stable.We also identified distinctive microbial signatures associated with prevalent pregnancy-related disorders,including opposite varia-tions in the oral and gut microbiota of patients with gestational diabetes and disrupted microbial net-works in preterm birth.This study establishes a comprehensive atlas of the pregnancy microbiome by integrating multidimensional datasets and offers foundational insights into the intricate interplay between microbes and host factors that underlie reproductive health.
