This document discusses real-time PCR detection of vaginal microbiota and sexually transmitted pathogens. It lists various bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses that can be detected using this method, which offers higher specificity, accuracy, and precision compared to traditional culture and microscopy. Real-time PCR allows for self-administered swab testing, unmatched speed of testing and accuracy of results, and can provide physicians' offices a fast and accurate determination for patients.
