Association between obesity and bacterial vaginosis as assessed by Nugent score [PDF]
, 2019 Background Bacterial vaginosis is one of the most common vaginal conditions in the U.S. Recent studies have suggested obese women have an abnormal microbiota reminiscent of BV; however, few studies have investigated the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis

Detection of Gardnerella vaginalis, Candida spp. and Trichomonas vaginalis DNA in symptomatic women
Microbiologia Medica, 2010 While vaginitis caused by Trichomonas vaginalis is now less frequent, fungal Candida spp. infections are frequently found and the bacterial vaginosis is one of the most common vaginal diseases caused by anaerobic microorganisms such as Gardnerella ...

Genomes of Gardnerella Strains Reveal an Abundance of Prophages within the Bladder Microbiome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Bacterial surveys of the vaginal and bladder human microbiota have revealed an abundance of many similar bacterial taxa. As the bladder was once thought to be sterile, the complex interactions between microbes within the bladder have yet to be ...

Genome sequences of 11 human vaginal Actinobacteria strains [PDF]
, 2016 The composition of the vaginal microbiota is an important health determinant. Several members of the phylum Actinobacteria have been implicated in bacterial vaginosis, a condition associated with many negative health outcomes. Here, we present 11 strains
