FREQUENCY OF BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS IN PATIENTS WITH VAGINAL DISCHARGE
Objective: To determine the frequency of bacterial Vaginosis in married/sexually active patients presenting with vaginal discharge. Background: Bacterial Vaginosis is a polymicrobial syndrome resulting in decrease concentration of lactobacilli, a higher

The mean and variance of phylogenetic diversity under rarefaction [PDF]
Phylogenetic diversity (PD) depends on sampling intensity, which complicates the comparison of PD between samples of different depth. One approach to dealing with differing sample depth for a given diversity statistic is to rarefy, which means to take a random subset of a given size of the original sample.

Bacterial biofilms use chiral branches to escape crowded environments by tracking oxygen gradient [PDF]
Bacterial biofilms collectively develop distinct and ordered structures, including fibers, bundles, and branches. Often, it is unclear how these structural motifs convey specific advantages to bacterial strains under challenging conditions. In oxygen-limited environments, dense bacterial aggregates generally deplete oxygen, which leads to arrest of ...

The bacterium Prevotella timonensis found in vaginal dysbiosis enhances the uptake of HIV‐1 by primary dendritic cells. Virus is internalised into tetraspanin‐rich compartments, which leads to efficient HIV‐1 transmission to target cells. These results provide insight into how microbiota directly affect HIV‐1 uptake thereby altering HIV‐1 ...

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is characterized by a highly structured polymicrobial biofilm, which is strongly adhered to the vaginal epithelium and primarily consists of the bacterium Gardnerella vaginalis.

Metabolic Signatures of Bacterial Vaginosis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is characterized by shifts in the vaginal microbiota from Lactobacillus dominant to a microbiota with diverse anaerobic bacteria. Few studies have linked specific metabolites with bacteria found in the human vagina.

Bacterial vaginosis: new treatment prospect
Bacterial vaginosis is an infectious non-inflammatory syndrome characterized by replacement of normal microflora (mainly lactobacilli) with polymicrobial associations of anaerobes and Gardnerella vaginalis.

Rheology of bacterial suspensions under confinement [PDF]
As a paradigmatic model of active fluids, bacterial suspensions show intriguing rheological responses drastically different from their counterpart colloidal suspensions. Although the flow of bulk bacterial suspensions has been extensively studied, the rheology of bacterial suspensions under confinement has not been experimentally explored.

Effects of bacterial density on growth rate and characteristics of microbial-induced CaCO3 precipitates: a particle-scale experimental study [PDF]
Microbial-Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) has been explored for more than a decade as a promising soil improvement technique. However, it is still challenging to predict and control the growth rate and characteristics of CaCO3 precipitates, which directly affect the engineering performance of MICP-treated soils.
