Bacterial vaginosis seems to be one of the most frequent cause of vaginal diseases which may be ascending and separates a not aesthetical discharge. A pH greater than 4.5 is found, the presence of clue cells, and a positive sniff test referring to Mobiluncus. The main microorganisms causing bacterial vaginosis are Gardnerella vaginalis and Mobiluncus sp. These are anaerobic ones. Cytology is able to give a quick and sure diagnosis.
