Background.
Bacterial vaginosis is a global concern due to the increased risk of acquisition of sexually transmitted infections.
Objectives.
To determine the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis and bacteria causing aerobic vaginitis.
Methods.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 210 patients between September 2015 and July 2016 at St.
Paul’s Hospital.
Gram-stained vaginal swabs were examined microscopically and graded as per Nugent’s procedure.
Bacteria causing aerobic vaginitis were characterized, and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern was determined.
Results.
The overall prevalence of bacterial vaginosis was 48.6%.
Bacterial vaginosis was significantly associated with number of pants used per day (p=0.001) and frequency of vaginal bathing (p=0.045).
Of 151 bacterial isolates, 69.5% were Gram-negative and 30.5% were Gram-positive bacteria.
The overall drug resistance level of Gram-positive bacteria was high against penicillin, tetracycline, and erythromycin.
Cefoxitin and tobramycin were the most active drugs against Gram-positive bacteria.
The overall drug resistance level of Gram-negative bacteria was high against tetracycline, ampicillin, and amoxicillin.
Amikacin and tobramycin were the most active drugs against Gram-negative bacteria.
Conclusions.
The prevalence of bacterial vaginosis was high and was affected by individual hygiene.
Routine culture of vaginal samples should be performed on patients with vaginitis and the drug susceptibility pattern of each isolate should be determined.
