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

Gardnerella Revisited: Species Heterogeneity, Virulence Factors, Mucosal Immune Responses, and Contributions to Bacterial Vaginosis

Infection and Immunity, 2023
Gardnerella species are associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV) and have been investigated as etiological agents of the condition. Nonetheless, the isolation of this taxon from healthy individuals has raised important questions regarding its etiological

Synthetic bacterial consortia transplantation for the treatment of Gardnerella vaginalis-induced bacterial vaginosis in mice

Microbiome, 2023
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a disease caused by vaginal microbiota dysbiosis. Here, we propose the use of synthetic bacterial consortia transplantation (SBCT) for the treatment of Gardnerella vaginalis -induced BV mice.

Glycogen-Degrading Activities of Catalytic Domains of α-Amylase and α-Amylase-Pullulanase Enzymes Conserved in Gardnerella spp. from the Vaginal Microbiome

bioRxiv, 2023
Increased abundance of Gardnerella spp. is a diagnostic characteristic of bacterial vaginosis, an imbalance in the human vaginal microbiome associated with troubling symptoms, and negative reproductive health outcomes, including increased transmission of

Prevalence of Gardnerella vaginalis infection and antibiotic resistance pattern of isolates of gynecology clinic patients at Shahriar Noor Hospital from January to June 2020 by PCR and culture methods

Iranian Journal of Microbiology, 2023
Background and Objectives: Gardnerella vaginalis is one of the most important causes of prevalent genital infections that pose serious risks. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Gardnerella vaginalis and antibiotic resistance pattern of ...

Under conditions closely mimicking vaginal fluid, Lactobacillus jensenii strain 62B produces a bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance that targets and eliminates Gardnerella species

Microbiology, 2023
Within the vaginal ecosystem, lactobacilli and Gardnerella spp. likely interact and influence each other’s growth, yet the details of this interaction are not clearly defined. Using medium simulating vaginal fluid and a two-chamber co-culturing system to

Biotypes of Gardnerella vaginalis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1984
A simple and reproducible scheme for identifying biotypes of Gardnerella vaginalis has been developed, based on reactions for lipase, hippurate hydrolysis, and beta-galactosidase. Among a total of 359 strains tested, eight biotypes were observed, the most common ones being types 1 (beta-galactosidase positive, lipase positive, hippurate positive), 2 ...

Gardnerella vaginalis alters cervicovaginal epithelial cell function through microbe-specific immune responses

Microbiome, 2022
The cervicovaginal (CV) microbiome is highly associated with vaginal health and disease in both pregnant and nonpregnant individuals. An overabundance of Gardnerella vaginalis (G.

Synergistic effects of carvacrol, α-terpinene, γ-terpinene, ρ-cymene and linalool against Gardnerella species

Scientific Reports, 2022
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection affecting women worldwide. This infection is characterized by the loss of the dominant Lactobacillus community in the vaginal microbiota and an increase of anaerobic bacteria, that leads to ...

Discrimination of Gardnerella Species by Combining MALDI-TOF Protein Profile, Chaperonin cpn60 Sequences, and Phenotypic Characteristics

Pathogens, 2021
The description of Gardnerella vaginalis was recently updated and three new species, including nine genome species within Gardnerella, were defined using whole genome sequences and matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF ...
