Anaerobe-Driven Inflammation and Epithelial Barrier Disruption in Genital HIV Acquisition. [PDF]

Am J Reprod Immunol
ABSTRACT Background Genital microbiome dysbiosis is an important risk factor for the sexual acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in both the male and female genital tracts. The vaginal, penile and urethral mucosae are distinct microenvironments with characteristic microbiome compositions.

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 ...

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).

Male carriage of Gardnerella vaginalis [PDF]

Sexually Transmitted Infections, 1982
The prevalence of Gardnerella vaginalis in the urethra of 430 men attending a clinic for sexually transmitted disease was 11·4%; it was significantly higher in heterosexuals (14·5%) than in homosexuals (4·5%). There was no evidence of rectal or subpreputial carriage of G vaginalis, and urethral carriage was not associated with symptoms of urethritis.

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 ...

Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles: New Hype or Hope to Explain Reproductive Host-Microbiota Interactions. [PDF]

J Extracell Vesicles
ABSTRACT Rapid advances in microbiome research are transforming our understanding of human health and disease, with growing focus on the female reproductive tract as a critical but understudied niche. Evidence for a local microbiome largely derives from bacterial nucleic acid detection; however, the biological relevance of these signals remains debated,
