Few microorganisms associated with bacterial vaginosis may constitute the pathologic core: a population-based microbiologic study among 3596 pregnant women

Article Abstract:

The presence of particular microorganisms and the absence of Lactobacillus bacteria in the vagina are strongly associated with bacterial vaginosis. Researchers identified vaginal microorganisms in 3,174 pregnant women. Vaginosis in pregnancy increases the risk of amniotic infection and premature delivery. The presence of Gardnerella vaginalis, Mycoplasma hominis, and anaerobic bacteria, plus the absence of Lactobacillus species of bacteria, was associated with bacterial vaginosis in 75% of cases.
