Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability of diagnosing bacterial vaginosis is improved by a standardized method of gram stain interpretation.
TL;DR: The standardized score facilitates future research concerning bacterial vaginosis because it provides gradations of the disturbance of vaginal flora which may be associated with different levels of risk for pregnancy complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
A review of premature birth and subclinical infection
TL;DR: Results support the hypothesis that premature birth results in part from infection caused by genital tract bacteria, and research efforts must be prioritized to determine the role of infection and the appropriate prevention of this cause of prematurity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vaginal Lactobacilli, Microbial Flora, and Risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 and Sexually Transmitted Disease Acquisition
Harold L. Martin,Barbra A. Richardson,Patrick M. Nyange,Ludo Lavreys,Sharon L. Hillier,Bhavna Chohan,Kishorchandra Mandaliya,Jeckoniah O. Ndinya-Achola,Job J. Bwayo,Joan K. Kreiss +9 more
TL;DR: Treatment of BV and promotion of vaginal colonization with lactobacilli should be evaluated as potential interventions to reduce a woman's risk of acquiring HIV-1, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis.
