Bacterial communities in heterosexual couples

Bacterial tag-encoded FLX amplicon pyrosequencing analysis of the V4 -V6 region of the 16S rRNA gene using primers 530F: GTGCCAGCMGCNGCGG and 1100R: GGGTTNCGNTCGTTG. Sequence files are in FASTA format. DNA was extracted from penile skin (PS), urethral (UT) and vaginal (VG) specimens from normal (N) women and women with bacterial vaginosis (BV) and their sexual partners.
