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-

Comparing the effect of sucrose gel and metronidazole gel in treatment of clinical symptoms of bacterial vaginosis: a randomized controlled trial

Trials, 2018
Background Lactobacilli, as normal vaginal flora, have a central role in controlling body environment and preventing the growth of pathogens. Sucrose, by promoting the growth of Lactobacilli, accelerates the suppression of pathogenic bacteria. The aim of

Effectiveness and tolerability of lactic acid vaginal gel compared to oral metronidazole in the treatment of acute symptomatic bacterial vaginosis: a multicenter, randomized-controlled, head-to-head pilot study [PDF]

BMC Women's Health
Background Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a prevalent vaginal condition among reproductive-age women, characterized by off-white, thin vaginal discharge with a fishy odor.

Evaluation and Comparison between Amsel’s Criteria and Nugent’s Score Methods in Diagnosis of Bacterial Vaginos is in Non-pregnant Women

Journal of Scientific Research and Reports, 2015
Aim : Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a poly - microbial syndrome. Amsel’s criteria or Nugent’s methods are usually used for its diagnosis. The present study was conducted to compare these two techniques regarding their reliability and possible preferences in practical use. Study Design : A Cross - sectional research was designed.

Endolysin selectively kills Gardnerella ex vivo in vaginal samples from women with bacterial vaginosis [PDF]

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Current treatments for bacterial vaginosis (BV) often result in recurrent disease. Gardnerella, a key player in BV pathogenesis, forms biofilms on vaginal epithelial cells.
