  • Title: Use of species-directed 16S rRNA gene PCR primers for detection of Atopobium vaginae in patients with bacterial vaginosis.
    Author: Ferris MJ, Masztal A, Martin DH.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2004 Dec; 42(12):5892-4. PubMed ID: 15583334.
    Abstract:
    Recent studies suggest that the association between a metronidazole-resistant anaerobe, Atopobium vaginae, and bacterial vaginosis (BV) warrants further investigation. In the present study, specific primers enhanced detection of A. vaginae and provided additional evidence that this bacterium is prevalent among patients with BV but absent among patients with normal vaginal flora.
