Growth of human clinical isolates on porcine vaginal mucosa (PVM). a PVM is obtained as large specimens (i) and 5 mm explants are trimmed (ii) and placed mucosal side up in transwells over liquid media (iii, iv). “Air” refers to either an aerobic or anaerobic environment depending on the experiment being performed. b L. crispatus, c G. vaginalis, and d N. gonorrhoeae were inoculated onto PVM explants at ~ 104 CFU/explant (dotted lines). Explants were processed for CFU/explant at each time point to evaluate bacterial growth. Data was log10 transformed and plotted on a log scale as the mean ± SD
