| Abstract: | Among all subjects attending a Center for prevention of female genital tract cancer Gardnerella vaginalis was isclated from 57 out of 171 women affected by non-specific vaginitis (NSV), from 15 of 703 non-NSV vaginitis patients and from 10 of 338 healthy adults. Postmenopausal women showed an increased rate of asymptomatic carriage of G. vaginalis. The data suggest a relatively weak association between clinical diagnosis of NSV and isolation of G. vaginalis. |
