Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an infection of the vagina caused by excessive growth of bacteria. [6][9] Common symptoms include increased vaginal discharge that often smells like fish. [2] The discharge is usually white or gray in color. [2] Burning with urination may occur. [2]
Vaginal flora. Lactobacilli and a vaginal squamous cell. Vaginal flora, vaginal microbiota or vaginal microbiome are the microorganisms that colonize the vagina. They were discovered by the German gynecologist Albert Döderlein in 1892 [1] and are part of the overall human flora. The amount and type of bacteria present have significant ...
List of bacterial vaginosis microbiota. Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria in the vagina. [ 1][ 2] The normally predominant species of Lactobacilli are markedly reduced. [ 3] This is the list of organisms that are found in the vagina that are associated with bacterial vaginosis, an infectious ...
Normal microbiota. Gram stain of lactobacilli and squamous epithelial cells in vaginal swab. This is the list of the normal flora that are found in the lower reproductive tract of sexually mature women who exhibit no symptoms of illness and who are not immunocompromised. Lactobacilli predominate. [ 4 ][ 5 ][ 6 ] These organisms protect against ...
Gram stain of cells from the vagina (the same magnification) with normal bacterial flora (top) and the bacteria that cause vaginosis (bottom). A variety of diagnosis techniques are currently available for identifying Gardnerella vaginalis such as the OSOM BV Blue assay, FemExam cards and nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs), resulting in the determination of ongoing BV.
Gram-negative bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria are bacteria that, unlike gram-positive bacteria, do not retain the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining method of bacterial differentiation. [1] Their defining characteristic is their cell envelope, which consists of a thin peptidoglycan cell wall sandwiched between an inner (cytoplasmic ...
Description. Chlamydia trachomatis is a gram-negative bacterium that can replicate only within a host cell. [3] Over the course of the C. trachomatis life cycle, the bacteria take on two distinct forms. Elementary bodies are 200 to 400 nanometers across, and are surrounded by a rigid cell wall that allows them to survive outside of a host cell ...
Yale, 1939[1] Morganella morganii is a species of Gram-negative bacteria. [2] It has a commensal relationship within the intestinal tracts of humans, mammals, and reptiles as normal flora. [2] Although M. morganii has a wide distribution, it is considered an uncommon cause of community-acquired infection, and it is most often encountered in ...
