[[File:Normal vaginal flora versus bacterial vaginosis on Pap stain.jpg|thumb|270px|Vaginal squamous cell with normal vaginal flora versus bacterial vaginosis on Pap stain. Normal vaginal flora (left) is predominantly rod-shaped ''Lactobacilli'', whereas in bacterial vaginosis (right) there are '''clue cells''', covered in bacteria. A significant amount of clue cells can be reported as "Shift in vaginal flora suggestive of bacterial vaginosis".]]
