The authors studied the antimicrobial activity of vaginal discharge (VD) in varying bacterial vaginosis (BV) and the pH value of the vaginal contents, and the parameters of the obligate and facultative microflora. Forty-four pregnant women with BV and 9 without signs of this disease were examined. The severity of BV was found to correlate directly with the abundant bacterial microflora (correlation coefficient 0.883) and pH (0.871) and inversely with glucose concentrations (-0.961), the obligate microflora (-0.889), and antimicrobial activity (-0.936). With severer BV, there were reductions in the VD concentrations of lysozyme, calprotectin, and defensins. The authors do not rule out that the decreased VD antimicrobial activity caused by the presence of antimicrobial peptides results in the occurrence of VD.
