Diet-microbiota interactions influence pregnancy success in females undergoing artificial insemination: insights from the vaginal microbiota and Mediterranean diet

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate how diet, particularly the Mediterranean diet, influences the vaginal microbiota and impacts pregnancy success during artificial insemination.
• Analyzed the vaginal microbiota composition of females undergoing artificial insemination.
• Evaluated dietary patterns, focusing on adherence to the Mediterranean diet.
• Correlated microbiota profiles with pregnancy outcomes.
• Strong associations were found between Mediterranean diet adherence and healthy vaginal microbiota.
• Positive microbiota profiles correlated with higher pregnancy success rates.
• Dietary changes may significantly alter microbiota, suggesting potential enhancements in fertility outcomes.
