Introduction: Pre-term delivery (PTD) accounts for approximately 70%-75% of perinatal and childhood morbidity and mortality. Numerous studies have demonstrated the association of Bacterial vaginosis (BV) with adverse pregnancy outcomes. BV has been identified as the most common vaginal condition in women of reproductive age and results from a shift from high concentrations of Lactobacillus spp. in the vaginal flora to an overpopulation of Gram-negative and anaerobic bacteria including Gardnerella vaginalis.
