| Ordering info (EPIC SmartText) | The genital tract harbors a wide variety of microorganisms. Some microorganisms are introduced exogenously, by sexual activity, contraceptive use, instrumentation, and childbirth, and may cause infection. In some cases, endogenous organisms have become opportunistic pathogens; as a result, microbiology cultures of the genital tract can be difficult to interpret. Most organisms, however, may represent normal flora or colonizing bacteria, and therefore cultures should not be used with the intent to list the organisms present. Normal vaginal flora can include any of the following organisms: Corynebacterium sp., Enterobacterales and other Gram-negative rods, enterococci, lactobacilli, staphylococci, alpha-hemolytic streptococci, Streptococcus agalactiae, yeast, and anaerobes. In females, infections are divided between the lower genital tract (vulva, vagina, and cervix), where infections are usually due to sexual contact and the upper genital tract (uterus, tubes, ovaries and pelvic cavity) where infections are usually due to organisms normally present. Isolation and cultivation of suspected pathogens from the genital tract involves the use of both selective and enriched media |
