More than meets the eye: associations of vaginal bacteria with gram stain morphotypes using molecular phylogenetic analysis.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a highly prevalent condition associated with adverse health outcomes. Gram stain analysis of vaginal fluid is the standard for confirming the diagnosis of BV, wherein abundances of key bacterial morphotypes are assessed.
