Antimicrobial Study of Some Chemical Preparations for Vaginal Isolates

Abstract

The  aim  of this  study  was  identification   of most  common  microorganisms   of vaginitis with effect of Alum & Gentian  violet on them.

This  study  was  performed   between  Feb.  2013 and  Jan.   2014, involving  215 married  women at  15-49 years  who attending   TTH and  private  clinic in Tikrit  city, they were examined  and  taking  high vaginal  swab. For diagnosis,  used  Amsel's eriteria,  Gram staining  of vaginal   discharge,   culture,   biochemical   tests  and  APT system.

Vulvovaginal   candidiasis    is  most  common   70(32.6%)   than   BV  associated Gardnerella   vaginalis  18(8.4%),  in our  distinct.  Candida  albicans  represent  32.6%,  while E. coli and S. aureus  were 11.6%  and 7.4%  respectively.  The history  of abortion  and PTL in those patients  was at  1st and 3rd  trimester  of gestational  age. By disc diffusion  method showed  resistance   100%  to  metronidazole.   There   was  a  significant   strong   correlation between Alum and Gentian  violet at concentrations  (1%  to 4%)  and the inhibition  growth zone  of G. vaginalis   and  C. albicans   with  statistically    significant   result   at p-value  <0.001.
