Gram-Stained Vaginal Smear
Gram-stained vaginal smear showing mainly Lactobacillus crispatus cell types.
- plump quite homogeneous lactobacilli
- grade I microflora
- microscopic image (100×)

Microflora Grade
- Grade I - when only Lactobacillus cell types (large Gram positive rods) were present.
- Grade II - (intermediate) when both Lactobacillus and Gardnerella or Bacteroides-Prevotella cell types were present.
- Grade III - (bacterial vaginosis) when Lactobacillus cell types were absent and only Gardnerella, Bacteroides-Prevotella or Mobiluncus cell types were present.
- Grade IV - when Gram positive cocci were predominantly present.
