Resumo(s): | Background: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the worldwide leading vaginal disorder commonly recognized between menarche and menopause in women of all ethnicities. It is associated with serious health problems relating to both fertility and pregnancy. This dysbiosis is characterized by a reduction in lactic acid-producing bacteria, mainly Lactobacillus spp., accompanied by an overgrowth of strict or facultative anaerobic bacteria, predominantly Gardnerella vaginalis. However, G. vaginalis is also present in healthy women and its vaginal colonization does not always lead to BV. To better understand the complex interactions that occur between host and microorganisms, and as well as between microorganisms in the vaginal microenvironment, development of in vitro models that can simulate the in vivo conditions is required, since no adequate animal model exists. |
