Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Will be updated.
Author Response
We have carried out more carefully what was suggested by the reviewer and we have more involved our gynecological pathologist (Prof. L. Resta), integrating what was requested and trying to be explicit but without going further; infact the first two paragraphs want to be introductory to the elaboration of the article and to the discussion of the chosen problem. The wording of some sentences has also been revised. We hope to have been more complete than the previous version and thank the reviewer for the valuable suggestions provided.

All revisions were accepted and a major revision of chapter " Principal biomarkers for cervical cancer " was done as required. All changes are highlighted in red in the text.

Reviewer 2 Report
The concept of cervical microbiota and HPV in the development of cervical cancer or CINs is interesting.
The title of the manuscirpt that attracted me at the first glance, however, 1) the current manuscript cannot give a clear description and evidence support for the concept. 2) The epidemic data should be clearly interpretated, especially the behined rationality and population. 3) To be a review article alone, the format of this manuscript requires deliberately organized.
