Gardnerella Species and Their Association With Bacterial Vaginosis

open access: yesThe Journal of Infectious Diseases
Abstract Background Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a condition marked by high vaginal bacterial diversity. Gardnerella vaginalis has been implicated in BV but is also detected in healthy women. The Gardnerella genus has been expanded to encompass 6 validly named species and several genomospecies.

Bladder Exposure to Gardnerella Activates Host Pathways Necessary for Escherichia coli Recurrent UTI

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTI) are a costly clinical problem affecting millions of women worldwide each year. The majority of rUTI cases are caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC).

Phase variable colony variants are conserved across Gardnerella spp. and exhibit different virulence-associated phenotypes

open access: yesmSphere
The Gardnerella genus, comprising at least 13 species, is associated with the polymicrobial disorder bacterial vaginosis (BV). However, the details of BV pathogenesis are poorly defined, and the contributions made by individual species, including ...

Sequence Comparison of Vaginolysin from Different Gardnerella Species

open access: yesPathogens, 2021
Gardnerella vaginalis has recently been split into 13 distinct species. In this study, we tested the hypotheses that species-specific variations in the vaginolysin (VLY) amino acid sequence could influence the interaction between the toxin and vaginal ...

Growth Forms of Gardnerella spp. and Lactobacillus spp. on Vaginal Cells

open access: yesFrontiers 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 outcompetes 29 other bacterial species isolated from BV patients in an in vitro biofilm formation model [PDF]

open access: bronze, 2014
Despite the worldwide prevalence of bacterial vaginosis (BV), its etiology is still unknown. Although BV has been associated with the presence of biofilm, the ability of BV-associated bacteria to form biofilms is still largely unknown.

The role of Gardnerella vaginalis, Autopobium vaginae and Mobiloncus spp in preterm delivery: A case-control study [PDF]

open access: yesMajallah-i Zanān, Māmā̓ī va Nāzā̓ī-i Īrān, 2023
Introduction: Preterm delivery is one of the leading causes of death in infants and children under 5 years of age. The causes of preterm delivery have not been properly identified, but some causes include infections such as bacterial vaginosis, which are
