Leptothrix

This curious bacteria is occasionally found in large numbers in the vagina and cervix. It apparently causes no harm and is not considered a pathogen. It would not be worth noting except for two characteristics:

It can live comfortably with Trichomonas.
It can resemble yeast on a wet mount.

It may safely be ignored.
