1 Cigarette Smoking is Associated with an Altered Metabolomic Profile in the Vaginal Tract Annual Global Number of Cigarettes Smoked Per Person: Tiffanie Nelson 1, Joanna-Lynn Borgogna 1, Rebecca Brotman 2 & Carl Yeoman 1 1 M o n t a n a S t a t e U n i v e r s i t y 2 U n i v e r s i t y o f M a r y l a n d 21% of global population age 15 smoke tobacco Tobacco Atlas, 2013 Global Percentage of Female Smokers: Tobacco Use Negatively Impacts Health: BLINDNESS IMPAIRED SENSE OF SMELL CANCER OF LIPS AND MOUTH LUNG CANCER ASTHMA CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE CERVICAL CANCER EARLY MENOPAUSE REDUCED FERTILITY ESOPHOGEAL CANCER TRACHEAL CANCER LARYNX CANCER HEART DISEASE GASTRIC CANCER COLON CANCER 250 million women world wide smoke daily Tobacco Atlas, 2013 WHO, 2014 The Vaginal Microbiome & Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) The Vaginal Microbiome & Bacterial Vaginosis: Most common vaginal disorder amongst reproductive aged women Amsel Criteria Fishy odor Vaginal ph >4.5 Discharge Clue cells Associated with: Pre-term birth (PTB) Miscarriage Pelvic inflammatory diseases Vaginal Microbiome Community of native bacteria that colonize the vaginal tract First line of defense against contracting vaginal diseases 1

Dis II 35% I 6% Smoking and the Vaginal Microbiome: Part 1 How does smoking impact the vaginal microbiome? Part 2 How does smoking affect the vaginal metabolome? Smoking and the Vaginal Microbiome: Pilot Study: 20 non-smokers 20 smokers Self-collected vaginal swabs Microbiome analysis using S rrna gene sequencing Brotman et al BMC Infect. Dis Smoking Negatively Affects the Microbiome: 50% of smokers versus 15% of non-smokers were classified to vaginal CST-IV (low-lactobacillus ) Smoking and Reproductive Health: How does smoking impact the vaginal tract and women s reproductive health? Part 1 How does smoking impact the vaginal microbiome? Part 2 How does smoking affect the vaginal metabolome? Brotman et al BMC Infect. Dis
