The modifications to the vaginal habitat accompanying a change to vaginal flora in bacterial vaginosis (BV) are poorly understood. In this study enzymes involved in mucin degradation were measured, including a novel glycosulfatase assay. Women attending an emergency walk-in sexually transmitted disease clinic were studied. One high vaginal swab (HVS) was used to prepare a gram-stained smear to ...
BACKGROUND Cervical ripening during pregnancy resembles an inflammatory process. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), particularly MMP-8, have been linked to inflammatory processes. We studied the concentrations of, and factors associated with, MMP-8 in the lower genital tract fluids in the first and second trimesters. METHODS In a prospective population-based cohort study, vaginal and cervical ...
BACKGROUND Trichomonas vaginalis has been associated with increased vaginal HIV-1 RNA shedding in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve women. The effect of trichomoniasis on vaginal HIV-1 shedding in ART-treated women has not been characterized. We tested the hypothesis that T. vaginalis infection would increase vaginal HIV-1 RNA shedding in women on ART, and that successful treatment would reduc...
Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection remains relatively common in the United States, representing a public health challenge. Ligase chain reaction (LCR) is both highly sensitive and specific for the detection of N. gonorrhoeae in urine and patient-obtained vaginal swab specimens. Because of the LCR test's exquisite sensitivity, it may potentially detect DNA from nonviable organisms following effecti...
BACKGROUND The excellent sensitivity and specificity of commercially available nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for the identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae have been demonstrated. This study evaluated the performance of the BD ProbeTec™ N. gonorrhoeae Q (GCQ) Amplified DNA Assay on the BD Viper™ System with XTR™ Technology in a multicenter study. METHODS Specimens were collected a...
Chlamydiosis is one of the major diseases that can lead to abortion in ewes. Since 1997, in 5 regions of Tunisia, Chlamydia-related abortions have been reported in 15 sheep and goat flocks. One hundred and sixty-six sera and 50 vaginal swab samples were collected from adult ewes. Chlamydial antigens were detected in 29 (58%) of the vaginal swabs using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) w...
BACKGROUND Factors that influence shedding of HIV-1 infected cells in cervical and vaginal secretions may be important determinants of sexual and vertical transmission of the virus. We investigated whether hormonal contraceptive use, vitamin A deficiency, and other variables were risk factors for cervical and vaginal shedding of HIV-infected cells. METHODS Between December, 1994, and April, 1...
Vulvovaginal candidasis is a common cause of vaginitis during pregnancy. It is estimated that 75% pregnant women experience at least one episode of vulvovaginal candidasis infection in a Gestational Diabetic Pregnant Women. Prospective analytical study performed in SBMCH in the year 20132014 in 100 Gestational Diabetic Pregnant Women. All the Gestational Diabetic Pregnant Women who had vaginal ...
OBJECTIVE To examine associations between the composition of the vaginal microbiota and genitourinary menopausal symptoms, serum estrogen, and vaginal glycogen. METHODS For this cross-sectional study, 88 women aged 40 to 62 years, enrolled in a hot flash treatment trial, provided vaginal swabs and a blood sample at enrollment. Bacterial communities were characterized using 16S rRNA PCR and de...
