Detection of enterovirus 68 as one of the commonest types of enterovirus found in patients with acute respiratory tract infection in China.

abstract：:Gardnerella vaginalis is a Gram-variable anaerobic bacterium present in 100% of women with bacterial vaginosis (BV). BV is a complex polymicrobial condition with no single causative agent. The current laboratory detection method for BV relies on a Gram-stain Nugent score to estimate the quantity of different bacterial...
