Abstract
The Infections of Lower Genital Tract
Highlights
As mentioned above, the vaginal infections derive from a biologically diverse collection of microbes
The vagina is host to an indigenous microbiota which is credited with contributing to vaginal health, and the flora interacts with exogenous microorganisms involved in pathogenesis of vaginal infections
It is striking that despite the fact that the vaginal flora has been a topic of interest to physicians and scientists since the last decade of the 19th century, there is still much to be learned and newer research techniques are continuing to elucidate our understanding of the vaginal flora, infectious agents involved in pathogenic interactions with the host, and the effects of indigenous and exogenous organisms on the physiology of the vagina
Summary
The vaginal infections derive from a biologically diverse collection of microbes. Francesco De Seta,1 Secondo Guaschino,2 Bryan Larsen,3 Gilbert Donders,4 and Gonzaga Andabati5 Infections occurring in the lower female genital tract represent a complex topic from several different viewpoints.
