Elnaggar J, Ardizzone C, Cerca N, Toh E, Laniewski P, Lillis R, et al.
Front Cell Infect Microbiol . 2023 Jul; 13:1198113. PMID: 37404722
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal dysbiosis. In this condition, a polymicrobial biofilm develops on vaginal epithelial cells. Accurately quantifying the bacterial burden of the BV biofilm is...
