Cloning of 16S rRNA genes amplified from normal and disturbed vaginal microflora suggests a strong association between <it>Atopobium vaginae</it>, <it>Gardnerella vaginalis </it>and bacterial vaginosis

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The pathogenesis of bacterial vaginosis remains largely elusive, although some microorganisms, including <it>Gardnerella vaginalis</it>, are suspected of playing a role in the etiology of this disorder. Recently culture-i...
