+<blockquote>In a study of bacteria inhabiting healthy women’s vaginas, Jacques Ravel of the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore and his colleagues found that each woman had one of five major communities of microorganisms. Four of the communities were dominated by types of Lactobacillus, bacteria like those found in yogurt that are well-known for making infection-fighting lactic acid, the researchers reported in the March 15 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
+But the fifth group of bacteria contained few lactobacilli, which usually signals an infection. “If you were to give those samples to a physician, they would probably say the women were sick and had bacterial vaginosis,” Ravel says. In fact, the women were perfectly healthy. Some researchers think that what bacteria do is far more important than which bacteria colonize the body. In this case, even though most of the bacteria in the fifth group weren’t Lactobacillus, the microbes still made plenty of lactic acid that could ward off serious infections.</blockquote>

+Detection of nanobacteria in patients with chronic prostatitis and vaginitis by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.
+Kim TH, Kim HR, Myung SC
+We found that conventional RT-PCR for NB was rapid, simple, low in cost, and easily available for the detection of NB, and that NB may be a possible etiological factor for vaginitis and CP/CPPS. The prevalence of U. urealyticum among the four patients with NB coinfection was 75%; the presence of U. urealyticum might therefore raise suspicion for nanobacterial infection.

+Can someone explain what they mean by nanobacteria?  This is the first time I've seen this term used for bacteria.  Could this be the first indication of a whole new category of bacteria that has not been uncovered yet?  Are these nanobacteria the main component of what we call the microbiota?
+So many questions... sorry!

+"Nanobacteria (NB) are newly discovered infectious agents of 100-500 nm in size with a 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequence and slow growth and a doubling time of about 3 days. They are fastidious and difficult to culture but can be detected with standard microbiological methods"
