Rectal occurrence of Mobiluncus species
TL;DR: The simultaneous occurrence of Mobiluncus spp in the vagina and rectum was studied in women attending a sexually transmitted diseases (STD) department and BV was cured in nine out of 10 treated with metronidazole and six out of 13 treated with tetracycline.

Abstract: The simultaneous occurrence of Mobiluncus spp in the vagina and rectum was studied in women attending a sexually transmitted diseases (STD) department. Of 43 women with bacterial vaginosis (BV), 32 had Mobiluncus spp in the vagina and 23 in the rectum. In 20 women the same Mobiluncus species was found concomitantly in the vagina and the rectum. Mobiluncus spp were found in the rectum only in two women with BV, one with candidal vaginitis, and one healthy woman. In a treatment study of 23 women, BV was cured in nine out of 10 treated with metronidazole and six out of 13 treated with tetracycline. After treatment Mobiluncus spp persisted in the vaginas of two out of 19 women and in the rectums of two out of 10.

Bacterial vaginosis--a microbiological and immunological enigma.
Urban Forsum,Elisabet Holst,Per-Göran Larsson,Alejandra Vásquez,Tell Jakobsson,Inger Mattsby-Baltzer +5 more
TL;DR: This critical review highlights the importance of the interleukin mediators of local inflammatory responses and the bacterial shift from the normally occurring lactobacilli species: L. gasseri, L. jensenii, and L. iners to a mixed flora dominated by anaerobic bacteria.

TL;DR: Mobiluncus, Gardnerella vaginalis and Mycoplasma hominis were independently associated with a clinical diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis, and Mobiluncus was further associated with the presence of BV-associated microorganisms (M hominis and G vaginalis), N gonorrhoeae, black race, and gravidity.

Transfer of members of the genus Falcivibrio to the genus Mobiluncus, and emended description of the genus Mobiluncus.
TL;DR: Using a polyphasic approach, the authors found that the genera Mobiluncus and Falcivibrio contain the same organisms and proposed to transfer F. vaginalis and F. grandis to the genus Mobilunus.

TL;DR: It is shown that culture remains essential and the most complete picture of the composition of complex microbial communities is obtained by the combination of culture-based with culture-independent approaches.

TL;DR: Application of practical diagnostic criteria for standard clinical use should assist in clinical management of nonspecific vaginitis and in further study of the microbiologic and biochemical correlates and the pathogenesis of this mild but quite prevalent disease.

TL;DR: Recommendations for the treatment of mucopurulent cervicitis are supported and the selective use of confirmatory diagnostic tests for C. trachomatis infection should be guided by objective criteria.

Bacterial vaginosis: Microbiological and clinical findings
TL;DR: There was no difference between women with or without bacterial vaginosis as regards contraception methods, age at first intercourse, or earlier episodes of vaginal discharge, and sexual transmission of the predominant bacteria was not supported by data collected from the male consorts.

TL;DR: A total of 22 strains of curved, anaerobic bacteria from the vaginae of women with bacterial vaginosis were found to be morphologically, biochemically, and genetically distinct from species in previously described genera.
