TLRs, especially TLR2 alone or in combination with TLR1/TLR6 and TLR4, have been recognized for their association with BV and BV-related bacteria, as these TLRs precipitate release of proinflammatory cytokines and recruitment of inflammatory cells (20, –, 23, 25). The gene discussed is TLR6; the disease is bacterial vaginosis.
