ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a method for detecting the presence of bacterial vaginosis in a female subject comprising the steps of:obtaining a sample from the vaginal region of the subject;detecting acetic acid present in the sample; andcorrelating the presence of detected acetic acid with the presence of bacterial vaginosis.
