“…This could be due to the poor hygiene and entry of the gut flora into genital tract causing vaginal infections [13][14][15] . Similar to the previous study by , Escherichia coli has 16 . However, Klebsiella species were found to be the most pathogenic Gram negative bacteria in this study, unlike the previous report in which Escherichia coli was the most frequently isolated organism 16 .…”

Aerobic vaginitis (AV) is a condition in which the normal vaginal inhabitants are replaced by aerobic bacterial pathogens, triggering a vaginal immune response. AV should be treated promptly. The aim of the present study is to analyse the prevalence of AV in patients with clinical symptoms of vaginitis. High vaginal swabs were collected from 156 women with clinical suspicion of vaginitis , over a period of 1 year. The swabs were subjected to Gram stain and bacterial culture under aerobic conditions. The organisms were identified using standard microbiolgical methods and antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed for the bacterial isolates as per CLSI guidelines. Out of the 156 samples processed aerobically, 33 showed bacterial growth in culture. The common bacteria isolated in the study were Staphylococcus aureus (24.2%), β-hemolytic Streptococcus (21.2%), Klebsiella species (21.2%), Escherichia coli (15.2%). Antibiotics like β-lactams/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations, Linezolid were effective against Gram positive bacteria. Gram negative bacteria were found to be more susceptible to Piperacillin Tazobactem, imipenem, meropenem, etc. The study emphasises the need for complete investigation of aerobic vaginal pathogens in patients with clinical symptoms of vaginitis.

“…This bacterium is rarely present in healthy vagina; however these finding were confirmed the presence of such bacteria in the presence of other pathogenic or nonpathogenic bacteria like Lactobacilli, which pointed its ability to produce various types of virulence factors in the infected vagina to obtain their requirements through its pathogeneses of infection. (21,22) The study was evaluated in -vitro the susceptibility of 10 antibacterial activities against growth of one pathogenic agent of vaginitis K. pneumoniae, which showed different results of sensitivity or / and resistance. These results were in agreement of many results obtained by (23,24), with some variation that we believe it's due to laboratory proceedings, medium, preparations, antibacterial discs manufacturing and local isolates of the bacteria.…”

There are large numbers of microorganisms, the vast majority of which are bacterial species, are known to colonize and form complex communities, or microbiota, at various sites within and on the human body. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most prevalent lower genital tract infection in women of reproductive age throughout the world. The purpose of this study was to detect Klebsiella pneumoniae bacterium as a causative agent of bacterial vaginosis of pregnant women and its antibacterial pattern in Baghdad city. A cross sectional study to assess the incidence and the antibacterial susceptibility patterns of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in pregnant women who were presented at many hospitals of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Baghdad city during 2012. A total of 450 vaginal swabs from pregnant women (in first three months of pregnancy) with history of fever, vaginal discharge and other clinical symptoms were investigated , by using different bacterial cultures to identified and diagnose the bacterial isolates. The frequency of 128 bacterial isolates were diagnosed Staphylococcus epidermidis 50 (39.06%), Escherichia coli 29 (22.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae19 (14.8%), Streptococcus spp.14 (10.9%), Lactobacillus spp.8 (6.2%), Citrobacter freundii 6 (4.6%), and Serratia spp.2 (1.5%). The antibacterial susceptibility patterns of Klebsiella pneumoniae only Ciprofloxacin showed 100% sensitivity in-vitro. While Clarithromycin, Amoxicillin, Pipracin, Streptomycin, Trimethoprim, Cefotaxime, Azitreonam, Augmentin and Gentamicin showed varied sensitivity / resistance responses. These findings suggest an increasing of resistance to the antibacterial agents that commonly used for vaginitis and the rate at which bacteria become resistant to antibacterial agents are of public health concern. This calls for routine bacteriological culture and sensitivity test in the management of bacterial vaginitis. Further, the provisions of adequate health care that keeping the women vagina healthy and maintain human public health.

The existence of life on Earth is sustained by the act of reproduction. The ultimate blessing for a couple in their lifetime is to give birth to a healthy progeny, which is only possible by the union of healthy beeja in the favorable conditions of Ritu, kshetra and ambhu. Female reproductive health plays a key role in all these four factors. Good reproductive health ensures a female to have a satisfactory and safe sexual life both physically and mentally. Rasayana prayoga during the course of dhatu utpatti in balya and madhyamavastha helps to attain the rasadi dhatu at its supreme quality. Acharya Sharangadhara quotes that the development of certain bodily characteristics attained in its pinnacle in every decade of life, starts to decline gradually after that certain period of years naturally. Rasayana therapy administered in each reproductive stage of female life may improve her reproductive health qualitatively which intern helps them to prevent various common reproductive aliments from balyatara avastha (pre-menarche) to Jara (complications after menopause). In this article, an attempt is made to collect and analyze the relevant facts from Samhitas, contemporary textbooks and e-resources and tried to conceptualize the significance of administering decade-wise Rasayana in female for improving their reproductive health.
