The preparation of a fluorescein-labeled Gardnerella vaginalis polyclonal antibody is described, and its usefulness is assessed for the detection of this microorganism in vaginal samples obtained from 263 women attending the gynecological department of a general hospital, 66 of whom harbored an intrauterine device. The direct immunofluorescence technique was positive for G. vaginalis in 21% of the specimens, whereas only 12.5% of the total bacteriological cultures were positive. The frequency was higher in patients harboring intrauterine devices since 34.8% exhibited positive immunofluorescence and 30.3% exhibited positive cultures.
本文描述了荧光素标记的阴道加德纳菌多克隆抗体的制备,并评估了其在检测某综合医院妇科就诊的263名女性阴道样本中该微生物的效用,其中66名女性带有宫内节育器。直接免疫荧光技术检测显示,21%的标本中阴道加德纳菌呈阳性,而细菌培养总体阳性率仅为12.5%。带有宫内节育器的患者中该菌检出频率更高,因为34.8%的患者免疫荧光呈阳性,30.3%的患者培养结果呈阳性。
