P374 Overlap between amsel’s criteria, nugent’s gram stain score, and vaginal microbiota community state types [PDF]

Poster Presentations, 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 ...

A multi-omic systems-based approach reveals metabolic markers of bacterial vaginosis and insight into the disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal disorder of reproductive-age women. Yet the cause of BV has not been established. To uncover key determinants of BV, we employed a multi-omic, systems-biology approach, including both deep 16S rRNA gene-

Sensitivity and Specificity of Rapid Clinical Diagnostic Test for Bacterial Vaginosis and its Analytical Value

Journal of the Dow University of Health Sciences, 2012
Objective Amsel criteria and microbiological techniques are two conventional methods for the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis. The purpose of this study was to determine the etiology of bacterial vaginosis in low socioeconomic female population of ...

Diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis in cases of abnormal vaginal discharge: comparison of clinical and microbiological criteria

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2010
Introduction: Bacterial vaginosis is a polymicrobial syndrome involving replacement of normal vaginal hydrogen peroxide producing lactobacilli by a variety of mycoplasmas and Gram-negative rods.

Efficacy of standard therapy with synbiotic or without synbiotic to reduce Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae and Megaesphaera phylotype I in pregnant women with bacterial vaginosis

Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction, 2020
Objective: To evaluate whether addition of symbiotic to clindamycin could reduce Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, and Megasphaera phylotype I in pregnant women with bacterial vaginosis. Methods: This randomized controlled trial (RSUP Dr. Wahidin

Vaginal microbiome variances in sample groups categorized by clinical criteria of bacterial vaginosis

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background One of the most common and recurrent vaginal infections is bacterial vaginosis (BV). The diagnosis is based on changes to the “normal” vaginal microbiome; however, the normal microbiome appears to differ according to reproductive status and ...

Comparison of Amsel’s criteria and Nugent’s criteria for diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis in tertiary care centre

International Journal of Reproduction, Contraception, Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2019
Background: Bacterial vaginosis is an imbalance in the ecology of the normal vaginal flora which is characterized by depletion of lactobacilli, and proliferation of anaerobic bacteria. It most often manifests clinically as a vaginal pH of > 4.5, presence of thin whitish homogenous vaginal discharge, detection of “clue” cells and presence of an amine

Prevalence of bacterial vaginosis in pregnant women attending Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, Nigeria using the complete Amsel’s diagnostic criteria

African Journal of Clinical and Experimental Microbiology, 2022
Background: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) in pregnant women remains a cause for clinical concern among clinicians and health care professionals. BV  has been linked to prenatal, antenatal and postnatal challenges in pregnant women. Information on prevalence of BV across trimesters of  pregnancy is expected to give better clinical insight into the ...
