It is pathophysiologically characterized by a marked depletion of protective, hydrogen peroxide–producing *Lactobacillus* species and a concurrent polymicrobial overgrowth of facultative and obligate anaerobic organisms, such as *Gardnerella vaginalis*, *Atopobium vaginae*, and *Prevotella* species Clinically, affected patients often present with an elevated vaginal pH above 4.5, clue cells on wet mount microscopy, and an off-white or grayish, homogeneous, thin vaginal discharge accompanied by a...
