Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

BV (bacterial vaginosis) is characterized by an overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria and a decrease in lactobacilli in the vagina. Endometritis is an inflammation of the lining of the uterus, syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a bacterium, and gonorrhea is another sexually transmitted infection caused by a bacterium. While all of these conditions can affect the reproductive system, none specifically match the description of a bacterial overgrowth and depletion of lactobacilli in the vagina that is characteristic of BV.
