Wet Mount PT: 2007A Educational Challenge • Evaluate the following micrographs • These will not be graded!
Gram Stain – Clue Cell Nucleus
Gram Stain: Agents of BV Mobiluncus spp. Gardnerella vaginalis
Gram Stain:Squamous Epithelial & Clue Cell • These images are not typical of what you see in a wet mount – since you don’t do gram stains (but allow you to visualize the differences between normal epithelial cells and clue cells) • Squamous epi: a few gram positive bacteria (blue cells, typical of lactobacilli) are seen on the surface of the cell • Clue Cell: The surface of the cell is almost totally covered with blue gram positive bacteria. The cell nucleus is seen as a small red dot.
Gram Stain:Agents of Bacterial Vaginosis • Gardnerella vaginosis (small, gram negative [red] rounded rods - coccobacilli) • Mobiluncus sp. (small, slender gram negative [red] curved rods). • Both are normally found in the vagina (i.e., normal flora) • In bacterial vaginosis, these bacteria increase in number and degrade proteins in the vagina to form the amines that cause the characteristic unpleasant odor associated with BV.
