Bacterial vaginosis is the most prevalent cause of abnormal vaginal discharge in women of childbearing age. It can have a major impact on quality of life and psychological wellbeing if frequently recurrent and strongly symptomatic. The use of molecular techniques to study the vaginal microbiome is increasing our understanding of the dynamic changes in flora that occur in health and disease. It might soon be possible to separate into different pathogenic and non-pathogenic species. Many groups are studying compounds that can disrupt the biofilm which is dominated by and . Several studies in the last decade support the concept of bacterial vaginosis as a sexually transmitted infection.
细菌性阴道病是育龄期女性异常阴道分泌物最常见的原因。如果频繁复发且症状严重,它会对生活质量和心理健康产生重大影响。使用分子技术研究阴道微生物群正在加深我们对健康和疾病状态下菌群动态变化的理解。或许很快就能将其分为不同的致病和非致病物种。许多研究小组正在研究能够破坏以[具体菌种1]和[具体菌种2]为主导的生物膜的化合物。过去十年的几项研究支持了细菌性阴道病是一种性传播感染的概念。
