Metabolic Network Models of the Gardnerella Pangenome Identify Key Interactions with the Vaginal Environment

mSystems, 2023
Gardnerella is the primary pathogenic bacterial genus present in the polymicrobial condition known as bacterial vaginosis (BV). Despite BV’s high prevalence and associated chronic and acute women’s health impacts, the Gardnerella pangenome is largely ...

Isolation and Characterization of Gardnerella Phage vB_Gva_AB1, a Bacteriophage Infecting a Clinical Strain of Gardnerella vaginalis

Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2021
Gardnerella vaginalis is the presumed causative agent of bacterial vaginosis. Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of Gardnerella phage vB_Gva_AB1, induced from a vaginal bacterial strain from a woman suffering with bacterial vaginosis.

The significance of Lactobacillus crispatus and L. vaginalis for vaginal health and the negative effect of recent sex: a cross-sectional descriptive study across groups of African women [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Women in sub-Saharan Africa are vulnerable to acquiring HIV infection and reproductive tract infections. Bacterial vaginosis (BV), a disruption of the vaginal microbiota, has been shown to be strongly associated with HIV infection.

Identification of Gardnerella (Haemophilus) vaginalis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1982
Different tests for the identification of Gardnerella (Haemophilus) vaginalis and for its differentiation from catalase-negative unclassified coryneforms from the vagina were evaluated on over 200 bacterial strains, with special emphasis on optimal test conditions. A presumptive identification of G.

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

Frontiers 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).

Resolution and co-occurrence patterns ofGardnerella leopoldii,Gardnerella swidsinskii,Gardnerella piotiiandGardnerella vaginaliswithin the vaginal microbiome [PDF]

, 2019
AbstractBackgroundGardnerella vaginalisis a hallmark of vaginal dysbiosis, but is found in the microbiomes of women with and without vaginal symptoms.G. vaginalisencompasses diverse taxa differing in attributes that are potentially important for virulence, and there is evidence that ‘clades’ or ‘subgroups’ within the species are differentially ...

Association Between Vaginal Gardnerella and Tubal Pregnancy in Women With Symptomatic Early Pregnancies in China: A Nested Case-Control Study

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
The early diagnosis and treatment of ectopic pregnancy (EP) remains a major challenge. Despite a known link between vaginal microbiota and female reproductive health, few studies have focused on the association between vaginal microbiota and pregnancy ...

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

Preterm birth after loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). how cone features and microbiota could influence the pregnancy outcome [PDF]

, 2018
OBJECTIVE: In the last years, the mean age of women who underwent cervical treatment for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2-3) is similar to the age of women having their first pregnancy.

Gardnerella subgroup dominant microbiomes are associated with divergent cervicovaginal immune responses in a longitudinal cohort of Kenyan women

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Most cervicovaginal microbiome-immunology studies to date have relied on 16S rDNA microbial profiling which does not resolve the molecular subgroups of Gardnerella, believed to be central to the pathogenesis of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and subsequent ...
