Prospective study of vaginal samples for the detection of Gardnerella vaginalis and G. swidsinskii/leopoldii using Gardnerella agar in CO2 and anaerobic atmospheres [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumGardnerella vaginalis is a key bacterium in the etiology of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and contributes to biofilm formation. Gardnerella is a facultative anaerobic bacterium, meaning it can grow both in the presence of oxygen and under anaerobic conditions.

Gardnerella vaginalis Enhances Atopobium vaginae Viability in an in vitro Model
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection among women of reproductive age. A hallmark of BV is the presence of a highly structured polymicrobial biofilm on the vaginal epithelium, presumably initiated by facultative anaerobes of the ...

Antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity assessment of various Gardnerella sp. strains in local China
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Gardnerella overgrowth is the primary cause of bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common vaginal infection with incidences as high as 23–29% worldwide. Here, we studied the pathogenicity, drug resistance, and prevalence of varying Gardnerella spp.

Research Progress on the Correlation Between Gardnerella Typing and Bacterial Vaginosis
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common infectious disease of the reproductive tract in women of childbearing age. It often manifests as an imbalance in the vaginal microbiome, including a decrease in Lactobacillus and an increase in anaerobic ...
