Lactobacillus crispatus+gasseri+jensenii + Gardnerella vaginalis + Atopobium vaginae rRNA [Presence] in Vaginal fluid by NAA with probe detection

BV bacteria rRNA Vag Ql NAA+probe

Definition

  • Qualitative result for bacterial vaginosis (BV) based on the detection and quantitation of ribosomal RNA from bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV), including Lactobacillus (L. gasseri, L. crispatus, and L. jensenii), Gardnerella vaginalis, and Atopobium vaginae. This term is used to report a qualitative result for BV and does not report results for individual organisms. It is intended to aid in the diagnosis of BV. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Hologic Aptima BV assay, which detects the bacteria associated with BV on vaginal swab specimens from females with a clinical presentation consistent with vaginitis and/or vaginosis.
