Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2019 Background Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is characterized by low-Lactobacilli and increased anaerobes. BV can be determined by clinical assessment (Amsel’s criteria) or microscopy (Nugent scoring); molecular methods are also under study. We investigated concordance between Amsel-BV, Nugent-BV and low-Lactobacillus vaginal microbiota identified via 16S rRNA

Diagnosis of Bacterial Vaginosis: Amsel’s Criteria vs Nugent’s scoring
Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences, 2016 Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginitis. If untreated, it is associated with serious complications. BV is a poly-microbial, synergistic infection, involving over-growth of multiple bacterial pathogens. Vaginal flora becomes altered leading to increased pH due to decrease in lactobacilli (which produce H2O2).Although Nugent's ...
