Summary
The frequency of gram-negative non-sporing anaerobes with possible clinical significance was studied in healthy pregnant women and in patients with non-Candida vaginitis. Only 4% of the healthy pregnant women studied yielded anaerobes of the familyBacteroidaceae. However, the incidence ofBacteroidaceae in 58 patients with colpitis was 53.5%. The predominant anaerobic species wasBacteroides oralis.
Zusammenfassung
Bei gesunden Schwangeren und bei Patientinnen mit nicht durchCandida bedingter Kolpitis wurde die Häufigkeit von gramnegativen sporenlosen Anaerobiern mit möglicher klinischer Bedeutung untersucht. Nur bei 4% der untersuchten gesunden Schwangeren waren Anaerobier der FamilieBacteroidaceae nachweisbar. Dagegen betrug bei 58 Kolpitis-Patientinnen dieBacteroidaceae-Inzidenz 53,5%. Die vorherrschende Anaerobierart warBacteroides oralis.
