ABSTRACT
Realizing the importance of the microbiome, it has been explored in various livestock species and humans. The microbiological communities differing with diversity and richness among different species in definite areas of the reproductive tract have been identified. However, the reproductive tract microbiome function is not yet fully understood. The variation or change in the diversity of the microbial species might be useful indicators of clinical importance and pregnancy outcomes. The information regarding thriving microbiological communities in the female reproductive tract is very essential since any untoward response represents a significant problem to many species, including domestic animals, exotic or endangered species, and humans. The study of microbial community inhabiting reproductive tracts of animals is essential to understand reproductive physiology and health aiming not only towards a clinical cure but also to restore healthy microbiota status. Further, a better understanding of the microbial species in humans, animals, the shared environment, and their interactions could help to prevent diseases (e.g., occupational) and manage human health or disease states.
