چکیده
The Lactobacillus (Doderlein's bacillus) (Wilson and Miles, 1964) had been regarded as the preponderant micro-organism in the vagina, at least after puberty. During the 1960s a re-examination of the microbiology of the vagina was prompted by the widespread use of potent antibacterial agents and of oral contraceptives (Krupp and St. Romain, 1960; Morris and Morris, 1967; Morris, 1969). During the same period, minimal information appeared regarding the microbial flora of the cervix (Likar and Mrsevic, 1967; Chiang, Alexander, Wei, and Fresh, 1968; Galinski, Mierzejewski, and Emerich, 1969). The present paper is a report on the microorganisms observed during a study of the external os of the cervix in a group of premenopausal women.
