Probiotics for the Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis: A Meta-Analysis
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2019 Background: The effect of probiotic therapy on bacterial vaginosis (BV) is controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety associated with probiotic treatment for BV.

Vaginal hydrolytic enzymes, immunoglobulin A against Gardnerella vaginalis toxin, and risk of early preterm birth among women in preterm labor with bacterial vaginosis or intermediate flora [PDF]
, 2002 Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the microbial hydrolytic enzymes, sialidase and prolidase, and immunoglobulin A against the Gardnerella vaginalis cytolysin (anti-Gvh IgA) increase the risk for early preterm birth ( 6434 ...

Prevalence of bacterial vaginosis and factors associated among women who have sex with women
Revista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem, 2018 Objective: to describe the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis and factors associated among women who have sex with women. Method: cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study with 150 women. The vaginal microbiota profile was analyzed by microscopic

Bacterial evolution and the Bak-Sneppen model [PDF]
arXiv, 2001 Recently, Lenski et al \cite{Elena,Lenski,Travisano} have carried out several experiments on bacterial evolution. Their findings support the theory of punctuated equilibrium in biological evolution. They have further quantified the relative contributions of adaptation, chance and history to bacterial evolution.

International Journal of Microbiology, 2018 Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an ecological imbalance of the vaginal microbiota affecting mostly women of reproductive age group. This study was carried out among 160 nonpregnant women registered at the Outpatient Department of Gynaecology/Obstetrics of ...

Analysis of bacterial population growth using extended logistic growth model with distributed delay [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 In the present work, we develop a delayed Logistic growth model to study the effects of decontamination on the bacterial population in the ambient environment. Using the linear stability analysis, we study different case scenarios, where bacterial population may establish at the positive equilibrium or go extinct due to increased decontamination.

Association between preterm delivery and bacterial vaginosis with or without treatment
Scientific Reports, 2019 The relationship between bacterial vaginosis (BV) and preterm delivery has become well known in recent years, although there are few studies on: (i) the differences in test results during the early gestational (EGP) and middle gestational (MGP) periods; (

Bacterial tracking of motile algae assisted by algal cell's vorticity field [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 Previously published experimental work by other authors has shown that certain motile marine bacteria are able to track free swimming algae by executing a zigzag path and steering toward the algae at each turn. Here, we propose that the apparent steering behaviour could be a hydrodynamic effect, whereby an algal cell's vorticity and strain-rate fields ...
