The diagnosis of this common condition is especially easy if the patient mentions a fishy or ammonia-like smell immediately after intercourse. In cases of Gardnerella infection, ammonia is released by the alkaline nature of semen--a purely chemical reaction.
This is the basis of the well known "sniff test," wherein a drop of potassium hydroxide is added to a drop of vaginal secretion on a slide and held to the nose. The other test is the microscopic examination of the vaginal smear. The "clue" cells: Shed vaginal epithelial cells, studded with Gardnerella organisms, are very characteristic. So to is the abundance of other frequently associated bacteria having pleomorphic coccobacillary shapes.
hope that helps :)
