Unveiling the role of Gardnerella vaginalis in polymicrobial Bacterial Vaginosis biofilms: the impact of other vaginal pathogens living as neighbors

The ISME Journal, 2019
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is characterized by a highly structured polymicrobial biofilm, which is strongly adhered to the vaginal epithelium and primarily consists of the bacterium Gardnerella vaginalis.

Interactions between Lactobacillus crispatus and bacterial vaginosis (BV)-Associated bacterial species in initial attachment and biofilm formation [PDF]

, 2013
Certain anaerobic bacterial species tend to predominate the vaginal flora during bacterial vaginosis (BV), with Gardnerella vaginalis being the most common. However, the exact role of G. vaginalis in BV has not yet been determined.

The Skin Microbiome: A New Key Player in Melanoma, From Onset to Metastatic Stage

Pigment Cell &Melanoma Research, Volume 38, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT The skin microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health, defending the body against harmful pathogens, and interacting with melanoma. The composition of the skin microbiome can be affected by factors like age, gender, ethnicity, lifestyle, diet, and UV exposure. Certain bacteria like Staphylococcus and Veillonella are important for

Prevalence of Gardnerella vaginalis in Prepubertal Males [PDF]

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1998
To determine the rate of occurrence of Gardnerella vaginalis in the genital tract and rectum of the asymptomatic prepubertal boy and to examine the effect of circumcision on the rate of recovery.A prospective survey design was used. Cultures for G vaginalis were obtained from the urethral meatus, surrounding glans, and rectum of prepubertal boys.

A Generalized Bayesian Stochastic Block Model for Microbiome Community Detection

Statistics in Medicine, Volume 44, Issue 3-4, 10-20 February 2025.
ABSTRACT Advances in next‐generation sequencing technology have enabled the high‐throughput profiling of metagenomes and accelerated microbiome studies. Recently, there has been a rise in quantitative studies that aim to decipher the microbiome co‐occurrence network and its underlying community structure based on metagenomic sequence data.
