Prevotella amnii was chosen as an example target, being the most metabolically active species present in the single patient with BV, and was found to be detected at a high concentration by qPCR in 31% of cohort with BV, with an association with both oral and penile-vaginal sex. An amplicon-based metagenomic library was generated from the extracted DNA using the universal bacterial PCR primers 27F and 338R that target the V1-V2 hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene as previously described [15] . Comparison of cDNA to DNA from Nugent 10 patient All of the predominant bacteria with .1% total abundance identified in the cDNA library were also detected using the 16S rRNA gene amplicon-based approach on extracted DNA. ./cache/cord-001090-qg2r691d.txt ./txt/cord-001090-qg2r691d.txt
