Hi,

Why you undergone this test? Normally acidophilus bacilli may present in normal flora. these are acid producing organisms and gram positive bacilli. Other possibilities like gardinella vaginalis infection in which gram positive bacilli.

Treatment depends upon the symptoms and culture sensitivity. Sometimes it may be asymptomatic infection. Please consult your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
