The maternal microbiome

Complications such as preterm birth and miscarriage affect thousands of Australian families every year. Worldwide, preterm birth is the leading cause of infant death.

Among the many determinants of pregnancy challenges, one often goes unnoticed: the microbiome—the trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses living in your body.

University of Adelaide academics are researching the body's bacteria to improve care across pregnancy and women's health overall.

Join us in August to learn about the latest breakthroughs.
