Bacterial vaginosis is the leading vaginal disorder but the transition from health to this dysbiotic condition remains poorly characterized. Our goal was to quantify the ability of BV-associated anaerobes to adhere to epithelial cells in the presence of lactobacilli. Gardnerella vaginalis outcompeted Lactobacillus crispatus and Lactobacillus iners actually enhanced its adherence.
细菌性阴道病是最常见的阴道疾病,但从健康到这种生态失调状态的转变仍未得到充分描述。我们的目标是定量评估 BV 相关厌氧菌在乳酸杆菌存在的情况下黏附上皮细胞的能力。阴道加德纳菌(Gardnerella vaginalis)与卷曲乳杆菌(Lactobacillus crispatus)和惰性乳杆菌(Lactobacillus iners)竞争,实际上增强了其黏附能力。
