Presence of a Polymicrobial Endometrial Biofilm in Patients with Bacterial Vaginosis
OBJECTIVE To assess whether the bacterial vaginosis biofilm extends into the upper female genital tract. STUDY DESIGN Endometrial samples obtained during curettage and fallopian tube samples obtained during salpingectomy were collected. Endometrial and fallopian tube samples were analyzed for the presence of bacteria with fluorescence-in-situ-hybridisation (FISH) analysis with probes targetin...
متن کاملAssociation between Semen Exposure and Incident Bacterial Vaginosis
OBJECTIVE. To identify correlates of incident bacterial vaginosis (BV) diagnosed with Nugent scoring among high-risk women. STUDY DESIGN. We conducted both cohort and case-crossover analyses, stratified by HIV infection status, based on 871 HIV-infected and 439 HIV-uninfected participants in the HIV Epidemiology Research Study, conducted in 4 US sites in 1993-2000. RESULTS. BV incidence was 21%...
متن کاملInteraction of primary mammary bovine epithelial cells with biofilm-forming staphylococci associated with subclinical bovine mastitis
Background: Staphylococci are recognized worldwide as one of the most important etiological agents of bovine mastitis due to their virulence factors such as their ability to penetrate inside mammary epithelial cells and their ability to form biofilm. Aims: The objectives of this study were to establish a model of primary mammary epithelial cells origin...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus detection in cryopreserved semen samples collected for therapeutic donor insemination.
The presence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in semen was retrospectively evaluated in 178 cryopreserved semen samples obtained from 97 donors recruited by two sperm banks. Thirty-three (34.0%) donors were CMV-seronegative, 51 (52.6%) were CMV-seropositive and 13 (13.4%) had an unknown serological status. CMV was detected in sperm specimens by cell culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). CMV was ...
متن کاملDietary intake of selected nutrients affects bacterial vaginosis in women.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV), a condition of altered vaginal flora, is associated with various adverse reproductive health outcomes. We evaluated the association between diet and the presence of BV in a subset of 1521 women (86% African-American) from a larger study of vaginal flora. Participants completed the Block Food Questionnaire and clinical assessments and self-report measures of sexual and ...
