    Purpose: This study was aimed to invastigate the relation between bacterial vaginosis (BV) and the colonizasion of vaginal mycoplasmas (Mycoplasma homi nis, Ureaplasma urealyticum). Methods: The culture results of 173 vaginal samples received in the Microbiology Laboratory of The Medical Faculty of Abant Izzet Baysal University between March 2004 and December 2004 were assessed in this retrospective - cross-sectional study. Only the samples from adequately described patients were included. The diagnosis of BV was based on the Amsel criteria. The isolation of Mycoplasma was made in commercial media ( Mycoplasma IST- bioMerieux, Marcy L’etoil, France). The core lation between vajinosis and the colonisation of mycoplasmae (M..hominis ve U. urealyticum) was investigated. Results: BV was detected in 55 (32%) of cultures. Ten (6%) cultures revealed Mycoplasma hominis, and 62 (36%) cultures revealed Ureaplasma urealyticum. Eight of 10 patients (80%) with M.hominis had BV (p0.05). A statistically significant corelation was detected between vaginal M.hominis colonization and BV. BV and U.urealyticum colonization was not found to be associated with each other. Conclusion: BV was found to be associated with M.hominis colonization in this study although the effect of colonisation on the occurence of BV is not clear. We conclude that further studies are necessary to invastigate the possible role of M. hominis in the etiology of BV
