  • METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS BY DETECTING METHANOBREVIBACTER SMITHII
    Publication number: 20200407779
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an in vitro diagnostic method with regard to the presence of bacterial vaginosis, characterized in that the presence of bacterial vaginosis is determined if the archaea Methanobrevibacter smithii is present in a patient vaginal secretion sample by detecting therein the presence of at least one nucleic acid sequence specific to said methanogenic archaea Methanobrevibacter smithii.

  • METHOD FOR DIAGNOSIS OF AND FOLLOWING A BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS BY MOLECULAR QUANTIFICATION
    Publication number: 20100075306
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for in vitro diagnosis and follow-up of vaginal bacterial flora status in relation to the presence of bacterial vaginosis, and for monitoring its treatment where applicable, wherein the presence of bacterial vaginosis or failure of on-going treatment is determined if the concentrations of specific sequences present in a single copy in the DNA of the bacteria Atopobium vaginae and Gardnerella vaginalis in the DNA extracted from a vaginal discharge specimen from a patient are such that at least one of the following two conditions a) and b) are met: a) the concentration Ca of said DNA fragment of Atopobium vaginae is greater than or equal to 108 copies/mL, and b) the concentration Cg of said DNA fragment of Gardnerella vaginalis is greater than or equal to 109 copies/mL.
