ABSTRACT
The occurrence of G. vaginalis in patients with non-specific vaginitis (NSV) was studied. Of the 200 women with vaginitis screened, 84 were diagnosed to have non-specific vaginitis. G. vaginalis was isolated from 33 (39.28%) patients either alone or in combination with other organisms, while one of the healthy controls with no vaginal discharge yielded G. vaginalis on culture. The nature of vaginal discharge could not be correlated with the type of infection. Clue cells and amine test gave inconsistent results in the presence of G. vaginalis infection. A varying susceptibility pattern of G. vaginalis was observed against various antimicrobials, metronidazole (95%) and gentamicin (75%) showing highest sensitivity.
