Symptoms associated with vaginal colonization with yeast

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1988
We correlated vulvovaginal symptoms with vaginal cultures for yeast in healthy female college students. Yeasts were isolated from 42 (29.2%) of 144 women. Only four (22%) of 18 women with positive fungal cultures had fungal elements visualized microscopically in vaginal material suspended in 10% potassium hydroxide (potassium hydroxide wet preparations)

The Effect of Treatment Regimens for Vaginitis and Cervicitis on Vaginal Colonization by Lactobacilli

Sexually Transmitted Diseases, 1995
The goal of this study was to determine the effect of various treatment regimens on vaginal colonization by H2O2-positive and H2O2-negative lactobacilli.The subset of women enrolled in a large longitudinal cohort study who had Chlamydia trachomatis (n = 13), bacterial vaginosis (n = 105), yeast vaginitis (n = 15), or mucopurulent cervicitis (n = 47 ...

Vaginal colonization by bacteria and yeast

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1988
A number of different factors have been found to influence the microflora of the vagina. Studies showing an increased rate of colonization associated with pregnancy, menses, oral contraceptive use, and estrogen replacement therapy illustrate the influence of hormones, glycogen content, and pH on vaginal colonization.

Models of Murine Vaginal Colonization by Anaerobically Grown Bacteria

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2022
The mammalian vagina can be colonized by many bacterial taxa. The human vaginal microbiome is often dominated by Lactobacillus species, but one-in-four women experience bacterial vaginosis, in which a low level of lactobacilli is accompanied by an overgrowth of diverse anaerobic bacteria.

Aspergillus and Vaginal Colonization

Journal of Ancient Diseases & Preventive Remedies, 2014
Aspergillus is a fungus with spores present in the air but usually does not cause disease unless it reaches an individual with a compromised immune system. Baggish and Ventolini concluded after their report on vaginal Aspergillus on no immune compromised women that given the appropriate opportunistic settings Aspergillus fungus can and will cause ...

The effect of amoxycillin on vaginal colonization resistance and normal vaginal flora in monkeys

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1992
Previous studies have shown that vaginal colonization resistance in monkeys can be eliminated by amoxycillin and restored by flushing vaginal flora from a healthy monkey into the vagina of a monkey colonized with Escherichia coli. The hypothesis that the effect of amoxycillin resulted from elimination of parts of the normal flora was tested in the ...

Cephadroxil promotes vaginal colonization withEscherichia coli

Infection, 1993
The aim of this study was to examine whether a vaginal Escherichia coli colonization, mimicking the one seen in UTI-prone females, could be induced by local cephadroxil administration. When five adult cynomolgus monkeys were given a vaginal flush with a P-fimbriated E. coli strain, none became persistently colonized.

Candida Albicans: The Estrogen Target for Vaginal Colonization

Journal of Surgical Research, 2005
Estradiol (E(2)) stimulates colonization of the vagina by Candida albicans. Although this yeast expresses an estrogen-binding protein (EBP), the cellular target for estrogenic modulation of this infection is unresolved. Findings support direct E(2)-induced C. albicans growth as well as indirect effects via E(2)-induced changes in the vaginal epithelium.

Vaginal Colonization with Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum

Sexually Transmitted Diseases, 1986
Vaginal cultures obtained from unselected young women who consulted the gynecologist in a student health service were examined for Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis. Each participant completed a confidential questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine which variables, of a large number ascertained, were ...

Vaginal Colonization with Corynebacterium vaginale (Haemophilus vaginalis)

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1977
Vaginal cultures for Corynebacterium vaginale and confidential questionnaires were obtained from unselected young women who consulted a gynecologist in a student health service. In all, 466 women were studied, 150 (32.2%) of whom were colonized with C. vaginale.
