The human microbiota is an intriguing area of research, and in recent years this research also included assisted reproduction, suggesting a negative impact on the reproductive outcome after an IVF if a dysbiosis (abnormal microbiota) was present at the time of embryo transfer in either the vagina or the endometrium. However, important shortcomings until now are the fact that no consensus exists on the definition of dysbiosis, differences in assays used, very limited number of patients examined, and contradictory results. Although testing for dysbiosis has already been commercialised, clinicians and patients are strongly recommended to await further research before using this in daily life. Until now we have just scratched the surface of the reproductive tract microbiota, and further research should be awaited before any conclusions are drawn.
