Linking antibiotic resistance genes in the vaginal microbiota to health-related behaviors and antibiotic awareness in reproductive-age women: a cross-sectional study

The vaginal microbiota (VMB), predominantly shaped by species, plays a crucial role in maintaining vaginal health and preventing infections. However, its delicate balance is increasingly challenged by the widespread use of antibiotics and the consequent rise in antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Wh...
