Molecular identification of bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis.New Eng. J. Med., 353, 1899-1911, 2005.Order of authorship in the original publication: Fredricks, Fiedler, Marrazzo. Using molecular methods, the authors confirmed that absence or greatly reduced number of Lactobacilli was associated with vaginosis. They also identified the primary infecting bacteria as Prevotella, Sneathia, Megashera, and Atropobium. (Thanks to Juan Weiss for this reference and its interpretation.)
