ABSTRACT
The main feature of BV is a change in vaginal flora from predominant Lactobacilli to overgrowth of other microorganisms like; Mycoplasma hominis [M. hominis] and Ureaplasma urealyticum [U. urealyticum]. M. hominis and U. urealyticum vaginosis has been associated with abortion, intraamniotic infection, premature rupture of membranes [PROM] and intrapartum fever in pregnant women. This study was carried out on 100 pregnant women complaining of abnormal vaginal discharge in addition, 50 normal healthy pregnant women were included as a control. Vaginal specimens were collected from all studied women. The incidence of BV among pregnant women was [39%] whereas none of the controls has BV. There was positive correlation between the number of pregnancy but not its duration. M. hominis was detected in BV cases [38.5%] and U. urealyticum in [46.2%]. As regarding the susceptibility, M. hominis was more sensitive to norfioxacin and tetracycline [100% for each] and also, U. urealyticum isolates were more sensitive to norfioxacin and tetracycline [94.4, 88.9%] respectively, but they were resistant to Amoxicillin and Amoxacillin/Culvunate
