Shift in flora suggestive of bacterial vaginosis?
Bacterial vaginosis is characterized by a shift in the normal vaginal flora, with a decrease in beneficial Lactobacillus species and an increase in various anaerobic bacteria like Gardnerella vaginalis, Prevotella, Mobiluncus, and Atopobium species. This shift disrupts the acidic environment of the vagina, leading to symptoms like vaginal discharge, fishy odor, and sometimes itching or irritation. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through clinical evaluation along with microscopic examination of vaginal fluid.
How do normal microbiota and transient microbiota differ?
Normal microbiota are permanently found in a specific body site, while transient microbiota are temporarily present and do not normally establish a long-term residence. Normal microbiota play important roles in host health and immune function, whereas transient microbiota can vary depending on factors like diet, hygiene, and environment.
