Development of a Protein-Free Nucleic Acid Lateral Flow Assay for <i>Trichomonas vaginalis</i> Open
In line with the global research priorities on sexually transmitted infections (STIs), we developed a molecular point-of-care test (POCT) for the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis that causes the STI trichomoniasis. Trichomoniasis rema…

Prevalence and clinical correlates of Gardnerella spp., Fannyhessea vaginae, Lactobacillus crispatus and L. iners in pregnant women in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo Open
Background Gardnerella is a key pathogen in bacterial vaginosis (BV), but the role of the different Gardnerella species remains unclear. We investigated the role of four Gardnerella species, as well as Fannyhessea vaginae , Lactobacillus c…

Vaginal microbiota and spontaneous preterm birth in pregnant women at high risk of recurrence Open
We describe vaginal microbiota, including Gardnerella species and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), during pregnancy and their associations with recurrent spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). We performed a prospective cohort stu…

Degradation of resistant α-1,4-glucan by vaginal <i>Gardnerella</i> species is associated with bacterial vaginosis Open
This study investigates the degradation of resistant α-1,4-glucan by vaginal bacterial species, with a focus on Gardnerella spp., to elucidate its role in bacterial vaginosis (BV). The ability of Gardnerella vaginalis, Gardnerella swidsins…

The Presence of Hemoglobin in Cervicovaginal Lavage Is Not Associated With Genital Schistosomiasis in Zambian Women From the BILHIV Study Open
Background Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) occurs when Schistosoma haematobium eggs are deposited in reproductive tissue. Female genital schistosomiasis in the cervical mucosa is associated with increased vascularity. If FGS is associ…

Association of Female Genital Schistosomiasis With the Cervicovaginal Microbiota and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Zambian Women Open
Background The cervicovaginal microbiota, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), have not been well described in female genital schistosomiasis (FGS). Methods Women (aged 18–31, sexually active, nonpregnant) were invited to part…
