  • Title: Culture-independent analysis of vaginal microflora: the unrecognized association of Atopobium vaginae with bacterial vaginosis.
    Author: Verstraelen H, Verhelst R, Claeys G, Temmerman M, Vaneechoutte M.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 2004 Oct; 191(4):1130-2. PubMed ID: 15507931.
    Abstract:
    Although the pathogenesis of bacterial vaginosis remains elusive, a few microorganisms, such as Gardnerella vaginalis, are considered markers on Gram stain or culture. Culture-independent analysis of vaginal microflora using 16S rDNA cloning and sequencing of total bacterial communities reveals the gram-positive Atopobium vaginae as a predominant species in disturbed vaginal flora.
