Background: With the widespread use of antimicrobial drugs, bacterial resistance has become a significant problem, posing a serious threat to public health. The prevalence of clinical infection strains in hospitals and their drug sensitivities are key to the appropriate use of antibiotics in clinical practice.
Aim: To identify prevalent bacteria and their antibiotic resistance profiles in a hospital setting, thereby guiding effective antibiotic usage by clinicians.
Objective: We here evaluated the association between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and vaginal infections, including bacterial vaginosis (BV), trichomonas vaginalis (TV), and vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).
Methods: A total of 4,449 women were enrolled in this study and given gynecological examinations. HPV genotyping and viral load determination were performed using a real-time PCR.
Objective: In this study we determined the frequency of the most prevalent human papillomavirus (HPV) types in China and evaluated the association between viral loads of different oncogenic HPV types and the severity of disease.
Methods: We enrolled 15,518 women for this study and 3199 of them (20.61%) were identified as positive by a PCR assay, that can simultaneously quantify and genotype HPV.
