Serial Screening and Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis Trial
Bacterial VaginosisPreterm DeliveryThe purpose of this investigator-initiated randomized control trial is to determine if bacterial vaginosis infection increases the likelihood of preterm delivery in women with history of preterm delivery. Subjects will be randomized in a two-arm study to undergo predetermined intervals of testing for bacterial vaginosis or control.
The Genital Microbiome of Male Partners of Women With Recurrent BV Undergoing Vaginal Microbiome...
Bacterial VaginosisMicrobial ColonizationThere is strong observational evidence that sexual activity plays a key role in Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) acquisition and recurrence. Microbiological data support the contribution of sexual transmission to the pathogenesis of BV through the exchange of BV-associated bacteria (BVAB) between sexual partners. Although BV epidemiology strongly suggests sexual transmission, treatment of sexual partners is not recommended, based on prior treatment studies of male partners of women with recurrent BV, which showed no benefit with male treatment. Nevertheless, male condom use is highly protective against recurrent BV. This study aims to evaluate the male-partner's genital microbiome as a potential source of BV-recurrence in women undergoing vaginal microbiota transplantation (NCT04517487), and whether disinfection can eliminate BV-associated penile microbiome.

Baseline Study of Vaginal Microbiota in Healthy Chinses Female Population
Vagina DiseaseVaginal Community State TypeThe reproductive tract microecology is an important part of the human microbial system. Microorganisms and the host reproductive tract environment form a stable symbiotic relationship. When pathogens invade or microecology imbalance,it can lead to serious reproductive tract infection.Reproductive tract infection is one of the most common disease among women,and it is a global social and public health problem. Reproductive tract infection is characterized by high morbidity, low cure rate and high recurrence rate.Data from the studies shows that 40% of Chinese women suffer from reproductive tract infections of varying degrees, that is, at least 200 million. Long-term chronic infections can lead to serious consequences such as infertility, tumor, abortion and premature birth. At present, the diagnostic classification of reproductive tract infection is mainly divided into Aerobic vaginitis(AV), Bacterial vaginosis(BV), Vulvovaginal candidiasis(VVC) and Trichomonas vaginitis(TV). The reproductive tract microbiota is complex, but the clinical classification is relatively simple, which makes the treatment lack of precision. More precise treatment,permanent cure and reducing the recurrence rate are the top priorities in the field of medical and health.
Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis Prior to Active Labor and Infectious Morbidity
Bacterial VaginosesBacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginal discharge among repro-ductive aged women. It is been linked to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Our objective is to evaluate if the use of a single dose of metronidazole in women with BV at time of delivery reduces infectious morbidities
The LISA (Lactoferrin InStead of Antibiotics/Antifungals) Feasibility Study
Bacterial VaginosisCandida VaginalThree-quarters of women have bacterial vaginosis (BV) or vaginal thrush/candida yeast infection at least once during their lifetime. Symptoms can include abnormal vaginal discharge, soreness, itching and an unpleasant smell. BV during pregnancy can make the baby come too early. In the UK over a million women suffer recurrent vaginal infections. These can affect their sexual relationships and quality of life, and may need repeated courses of treatment. But some women prefer not to keep taking antibiotics which can have side effects and encourage the growth of resistant superbugs. Lactoferrin is a prebiotic protein derived from cow's milk. Women also have naturally occurring lactoferrin in their vagina where it helps to prevent infections and encourage the growth of healthy bacteria. Recent research suggests lactoferrin may be an effective treatment for BV and thrush, but this needs to be confirmed. Aim To see if it is feasible to conduct a future trial to prove whether lactoferrin vaginal pessaries are an acceptable, effective and cost-effective alternative to antibiotic tablets for women with BV or thrush. Methods The investigators will recruit a total of 57 women with BV and 57 with thrush from two sexual health clinics and a general practice. Women will be asked to provide self-taken vaginal samples with a cotton bud, and to complete a confidential sexual-health questionnaire. Then the women will be divided into two groups. One group will be given lactoferrin vaginal pessaries to use every night for 3-weeks. The other group will be given antibiotic/antifungal tablets. All women will be asked to provide repeat vaginal samples at home and text us about any symptoms to see if the treatment works, if the infection comes back and if they would like antibiotics. After 12-weeks all women will be invited back for a final check-up. Outcome measures: Acceptability and use of vaginal lactoferrin - from questionnaires, and interviews with 15-20 women Recruitment and follow-up rates Cost of lactoferrin treatment The percentage of women who report their symptoms have resolved after a week How quickly infections clear or recur - from analysis of samples Patient benefit: If this study leads to a trial showing vaginal lactoferrin is an acceptable and effective alternative to antibiotics, this could help relieve symptoms, prevent antimicrobial resistance and save NHS costs.
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis
Bacterial VaginosesThis is a double-blinded, placebo controlled, multi-center randomized trial of 482 pregnant women who are diagnosed with Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) in the late 3rd trimester (>34 weeks). During routine clinic visit after 34 weeks, prospective patients will be counseled about the study. Patients who agree to be enrolled, will sign informed consent. Following enrollment, patients will be screened for BV. Those patients who are BV positive by clinical diagnosis, will be randomized to receive either metronidazole 500 mg BID orally for 7 days or identically appearing placebo.
