Development and validation of a semiquantitative, multitarget PCR assay for diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis.
Quantitative PCR assays were developed for 4 organisms reported previously to be useful positive indicators for the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis (BV)--Atopobium vaginae, Bacterial Vaginosis-Associated Bacterium 2 (BVAB-2), Gardnerella vaginalis, and Megasphaera-1--and a single organism (Lactobacillus crispatus) that has been implicated as a negative indicator for BV. Vaginal samples (n = 16...
متن کاملCorrelation Between the Clinical Diagnosis of Bacterial Vaginosis and the Results of a Proline Aminopeptidase Assay
OBJECTIVE The object of this study was to develop a simple and inexpensive test for detection of bacterial vaginosis (BV) in pregnant patients and to test its accuracy in a clinic population. METHODS We developed a modified proline aminopeptidase (PAMP) assay to detect BV and compared the results of the assay with the clinical diagnosis of BV. RESULTS The results of the PAMP assay in 55 asy...
متن کاملSensitive Detection of Thirteen Bacterial Vaginosis-Associated Agents Using Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is characterized by a polymicrobial proliferation of anaerobic bacteria and depletion of lactobacilli, which are components of natural vaginal microbiota. Currently, there are limited conventional methods for BV diagnosis, and these methods are time-consuming, expensive, and rarely allow for the detection of more than one agent simultaneously. Therefore, we conceived an...
متن کاملEpidemiology and Risk Factors of Bacterial Vaginosis in Women Visiting the Gynecologic Clinic of Bahonar Hospital of Kerman University of Medical Sciences in 2002
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is characterized by excessive growth of anaerobic bacteria in the vaginal flora. Previous studies have shown that patients with BV have a substantially increased risk for serious complications such as chorioamnionitis, PROM, amniotic fluid infection, preterm delivery, low birth weight infants, and endometritis following cesarean and vaginal delivery. The aim of this ...
متن کاملInfluence of anaerobic conditions on vaginal microbiota recovery from bacterial vaginosis patients.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of the most common infections in women of reproductive age. Clinical studies have shown an association among BV and abnormal pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease and increased risk of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. This disorder was first described in 1914 by Curtis as a “white discharge” syndrome and despite the decades of research we have onl...
