Cervical and vaginal flora specimens are highly concordant with respect to bacterial vaginosis-associated organisms and commensal Lactobacillus species in women of reproductive age.

چکیده
Matched vaginal and cervical specimens from 96 subjects were analyzed by quantitative PCR for the presence and concentration of bacterial vaginosis-associated microbes and commensal Lactobacillus spp. Detection of these microbes was 92% concordant, indicating that microbial floras at these body sites are generally similar.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is characterised by depletion of the normal Lactobacillus spp. and overgrowth of commensal anaerobic bacteria. We investigated the composition of vaginal microbiota and their association with BV in women of reproductive age. Vaginal samples from 1197 women were analysed, whereby n=451 patients had normal flora and n=614 were diagnosed with BV, the remaining patients wer...

Anaerobic (bacterial) vaginosis is a vaginal syndrome of unknown aetiology in which women complain of a fishy smelling vaginal discharge and the normal lactobacillus dominated vaginal flora is replaced by a profound overgrowth of Gardnerella vaginalis, Mycoplasma hominis, and mixed anaerobes, particularly Prevotella, Porphyromonas, and Mobiluncus species. The vaginal pH is elevated (usually pH ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal disorder, characterized by depletion of the normal lactobacillus-dominant microbiota and overgrowth of commensal anaerobic bacteria. This study aimed to investigate the composition of the vaginal microbiota in women of reproductive age (healthy women and women with BV), with the view of developing molecular criteria fo...

BACKGROUND Vaginal flora of healthy women is dominated by Lactobacillus species which can prevent bacterial vaginosis. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to determine the differences in vaginal lactobacilli composition of Iranian healthy and bacterial vaginosis (BV) infected women and compared their cytotoxic effects with commercial vaginal probiotics. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and s...

Bacterial vaginosis is characterized by a shift from the predominant lactobacillus vaginal flora to an overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria. Bacterial vaginosis is associated with an increased risk of gyne-cologic complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease, postoperative infection, cervicitis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and possibly cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). The o...
