Prevalence and clinical correlates of Gardnerella spp., Fannyhessea vaginae, Lactobacillus crispatus and L. iners in pregnant women in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyBackgroundGardnerella is a key pathogen in bacterial vaginosis (BV), but the role of the different Gardnerella species remains unclear. We investigated the role of four Gardnerella species, as well as Fannyhessea vaginae, Lactobacillus crispatus and L ...

Growth Forms of Gardnerella spp. and Lactobacillus spp. on Vaginal Cells
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal condition in women of reproductive age. During BV development, BV-associated bacteria may form a polymicrobial biofilm, which predispose women to recurrent BV.

Gardnerella vaginalis in posthysterectomy infection
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1990 Eighty-six women were admitted for abdominal hysterectomy. Preoperatively, 43 women were culture-positive for Gardnerella vaginalis from the cervical os, and 43 women were culture-negative. Postoperatively, 18 patients developed inflammation; among those 14 patients from the culture-positive group were infected, whereas only 4 patients from the culture-

The presence of the putative Gardnerella vaginalis sialidase A gene in vaginal specimens is associated with bacterial vaginosis biofilm [PDF]
, 2017 Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a difficult-to-treat recurrent condition in which health-associated lactobacilli are outnumbered by other anaerobic bacteria, such as Gardnerella vaginalis. Certain genotypes of G. vaginalis can produce sialidase, while others

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 The anaerobic actinobacterium Gardnerella was first isolated from the bladder by suprapubic aspiration more than 50 years ago. Since then, Gardnerella has been increasingly recognized as a common and often abundant member of the female urinary microbiome
