Longitudinal vaginal microbiome profiling in Mexican pregnant women: association with preterm birth
This project contains 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data from longitudinal vaginal swab samples collected from pregnant women in Mexico City. Samples were obtained from 43 participants (14 preterm birth cases, 29 term controls) across multiple gestational time points, yielding 111 total samples. The dataset was generated to characterize vaginal microbiome dynamics during pregnancy and to develop machine learning models for preterm birth prediction in a Mexican population cohort.
