188 results about "Bacterial vaginosis" patented technology

The present invention relates to methods for the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis based on an analysis of a patient sample. For example, patient test samples are analyzed for the presence or absence of one or more lactobacilli and two or more pathogenic organisms. The presence or absence of one or more lactobacilli and two or more pathogenic organisms may be detected using PCR analysis of nucleic acid segments corresponding to each target organism. The quantity of the target organisms can then be used to determine a score which is indicative of a diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis.

The invention relates to a test paper tape which can be used in the gynecological multiprogramming dry-chemistry joint detection. The test paper tape provided by the utility model comprises a dry-chemistry multiprogramming detection test paper tape which consists of a plastic substrate tape and various solidified regent blocks, and sample diluent. The dry regent blocks include combinations formed by increasing or decreasing at least three or more regent blocks of a Ph test regent block, a lactic acid regent block, a hydrogen peroxide concentration regent block, a leukocyte esterase concentration regent block, a neuraminidase activity regent block, an amine test regent block, a proline aminopeptidase substrate reagent block, an oxidase substrate reagent block, a N-acetylamine hexosidase substrate reagent block, a trichomonas specific protease substrate hydrolysis reagent block. the gynecological multiprogramming dry-chemistry joint detection test paper test provided by the utility model can detect Ph, lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, leukocyte esterase, neuraminidase, amine test, proline aminopeptidase, oxidase, N-acetylamine hexosidase and trichomonas specific protease which are contained in leucorrhea sample at the same time, and can accurately reflect the microorganism environment of a women reproductive tract, the cleanness of leucorrhea secretion and the conditions of Candida albicans, trichomonas, gonococcus and the pathogens of bacterial vaginosis, thereby making the gynecological trichomonas detection more comprehensive; besides, the test paper tape provided by the utility model can be used easily and conveniently, and results can be obtained quickly. If the test paper tape is used together with a gynecological dry-chemistry analyzer, the operation can become easier and the result can be obtained more quickly.

The present invention provides a non-toxic diagnostic composition for intravaginal monitoring of vaginal infections. The present invention further provides a diagnostic article for intravaginal monitoring of vaginal infections with the article including an absorbent material for absorbing vaginal secretions and a composition suitable for identification of the pH or the buffer capacities associated with vaginal secretions. The diagnostic composition provides a visible indication of vaginal infections, such as bacterial vaginosis.

The present invention discloses Lactobacillus crispatus 262-1 and an inoculum comprising such strain and application thereof. The Lactobacillus crispatus 262-1 is a new strain of Lactobacillus genus and is preserved in the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center with a preservation number of CGMCC No. 6469. The Lactobacillus crispatus 262-1 particularly is the dominant bacteria in the vagina, has good acid and H2O2 production capability, good adhesion to the vaginal epithelial cells and significant resistance to bacterial vaginosis and various vaginal infections, and is characterized by safety, non-toxicity, good stability and long term preservation. The present invention also relates to the use of the Lactobacillus crispatus 262-1 in the preparation of pharmaceuticals for preventing and / or treating gynecological diseases and its application in feminine care products such as medical instruments, disinfect products or cosmetics.
