Abstract

Aerobic and anaerobic cultures as well as a Gram stain and wet mount preparations were made of vaginal swabs in twenty patients with clinical bacterial vaginosis. Mobiluncus spp. were detected in 7 cases (35%). Cultures appeared to indicate that mixed abnormal flora between aerobic and anaerobic bacteria are found in bacterial vaginosis, and that Mobiluncus spp. may play a role in bacterial vaginosis.
