Characterization of vaginal microflora of healthy, nonpregnant women by chaperonin-60 sequence-based methods

Article Abstract:

A novel method based on the application of chaperonin-60 sequencing was used to describe the vaginal microflora of 16 healthy women. Sixteen of the 23 women who were enrolled had normal flora by Nugent's score of less than 4 and had adequate polymerase chain reaction product for assessment while it was also found that vaginal flora libraries were dominated by a variety of sequences with similarity to Lactobacillus spps L crispatus, L iners, L gasseri and others.
