Journal ArticleDOI
Nonspecific vaginitis: Diagnostic criteria and microbial and epidemiologic associations
Richard Amsel,Patricia A. Totten,Carol A. Spiegel,Kirk C.S. Chen,David A. Eschenbach,King K. Holmes +5 more
TL;DR: Application of practical diagnostic criteria for standard clinical use should assist in clinical management of nonspecific vaginitis and in further study of the microbiologic and biochemical correlates and the pathogenesis of this mild but quite prevalent disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between Mycoplasma genitalium and acute endometritis
Craig R. Cohen,Craig R. Cohen,Lisa E. Manhart,Elizabeth A. Bukusi,Elizabeth A. Bukusi,Elizabeth A. Bukusi,Sabina G. Astete,Robert C. Brunham,King K. Holmes,SK Sinei,Job J. Bwayo,Patricia A. Totten +11 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that infection with M genitalium is strongly associated with acute endometritis in this population of women in Nairobi, Kenya.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rpoN gene product of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is required for expression of diverse genes, including the flagellin gene.
TL;DR: Findings indicate that the sigma factor encoded by the rpoN gene is used by P. aeruginosa for transcription of a diverse set of genes that specify biosynthetic enzymes, degradative enzymes, and surface components, which include pili and flagella which are required for full virulence of the organism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mucopurulent cervicitis and Mycoplasma genitalium.
Lisa E. Manhart,Cathy W. Critchlow,King K. Holmes,Susan M. Dutro,David A. Eschenbach,Claire E. Stevens,Patricia A. Totten +6 more
TL;DR: Young age, multiple recent partners, prior miscarriage, smoking, menstrual cycle, and douching were positively associated with M. genitalium, whereas bacterial vaginosis and cunnilingus were negatively associated, suggesting that this organism may be a cause of MPC.
