Abstract

The species of vaginal lactobacilli in HIV-seropositive and -seronegative women were determined by 16S gene pyrosequencing. Lactobacillus iners sequences were the predominant lactobacillus sequences in 66% of HIV⁺women and 90% of HIV^- women. This has implications for resistance of HIV ⁺ and HIV^- women to genital colonization by pathogenic organisms.
