Established methods and disadvantages
Amsel method is the golden standard in BV diagnosis. However, this method requires complicated operations and it is also highly subjective.

Sialidase method is the universal method, currently used in the international market. BV is a gynecopathy not caused by a single bacteria but by anaerobic bacteria flora. Prevotella spp, Bacteroides spp and 20 % of Gardnerella vaginalis have Sialidase activity. Most of the Mobiluncus spp, Peptostreptococcus and Mycoplasma hominis don‘t show Sialidase activity. So BV caused by Mobiluncus spp, Peptostreptococcus, Mycoplasma hominis and about 80% of Gardnerella vaginalis risk to remain undetected when using the Sialidase method.
