Mobiluncus in Vaginal Smear for Bacterial Vaginosis

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0300

Mobiluncus is a genus of anaerobic bacteria with a curved shape (comma-shaped) and a size of about 1.5–3 × 0.4 µm. Under microscopy, they often appear as thin, curved rods. Normally present in small quantities in the genitourinary tract. Their active proliferation in women usually serves as a marker for bacterial vaginosis! The photo shows coccobacillary flora with Mobiluncus!

Clue Cells in Vaginal Smear: Diagnostics and Morphology

🔹CLUE CELLS in a gynecological vaginal smear.

👉🏻These are epithelial cells without clear boundaries, covered with small cocci, as if sprinkled with sand.

🙅🏼‍♀️Normally absent.

The presence of these cells indicates an inflammatory process. For example, bacterial vaginosis.

Clue Cells and Leukocytes in Bacterial Vaginosis

🔬 Vaginal smear: “Clue cells” + many leukocytes

Usually, in bacterial vaginosis, there are few leukocytes. But if there are many: ⚠ most likely, it’s not pure bacterial vaginosis, but a mixed infection — for example, with trichomonads, chlamydia, or fungi. Another reason: an incorrectly collected smear — if the sample is taken from the cervix or during menstruation, there may be more leukocytes.

Leptothrix in Vaginal Smear: Morphology and Microscopy

🔬 Vaginal Smear Microscopy: Leptothrix

✅ The microphotograph shows long, thin filaments of Leptothrix bacteria. This bacterium is easily recognized by its characteristic structure: thin filaments resembling strokes, as if “scribbled with a pen” against the stained smear.

Cervical Cytology: HSIL and Suspected Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 13:00:01 +0300

🔬 Cervical and endocervical canal cytology. Woman, 29 years old. Last menstruation was 7 days ago. Staining method: Romanowsky. ✅ Cytological conclusion: Against a background of bacterial vaginosis, changes in multilayered squamous epithelial cells were found, including koilocytic atypia. Cells with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HSIL), suspicious for squamous cell carcinoma, were detected. Glandular epithelium with mild atypia is also present. Further examination and specialist consultation are recommended to clarify the diagnosis and choose the optimal management strategy.

Microscopy of Mobiluncus spp. in Bacterial Vaginosis

Mon, 20 May 2024 12:00:02 +0300

🔬Mobiluncus - Mobiluncus spp. Microscopy of female genital smears. ✅These microorganisms are found in the human vagina, especially in combination with Gardnerella vaginalis in cases of bacterial vaginosis. ✅Mobiluncus is a genus of Gram-positive anaerobic rod-shaped bacteria. These bacteria can be stained as Gram-negative or Gram-variable. However, they are classified as Gram-positive rods due to having a Gram-positive cell wall, lacking endotoxin, and being susceptible to vancomycin, erythromycin, and ampicillin, but resistant to colistin. 💎Look for a video recording of microscopy with these bacteria from the vagina in the private library LAB-TESTS (Screenshots from the video are photos 2-4 in the post carousel). In the LAB-TESTS library, select the folder: 10. FEMALE GENITAL SMEARS (microscopy) → video → Video recording: “Gynecology. Bacterial vaginosis. Mobiluncus spp.”. There you will also find over 70 other video recordings of microscopy of urogenital smears for flora in women.
