Nationwide profiling of vaginal microbiota in Chinese women reveals age-dependent shifts and predictive biomarkers for reproductive health. [PDF]

Imeta
The vaginal microbiome is central to reproductive health, yet large‐scale studies in East Asian populations remain scarce. Here, we characterized the vaginal microbiota of 6423 Chinese women of reproductive age across 18 provinces and assessed associations with 33 host factors.

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 ...

Lateral Gene Transfer Shapes Diversity of Gardnerella spp.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Gardnerella spp. are pathognomonic for bacterial vaginosis, which increases the risk of preterm birth and the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Gardnerella spp.

Gardnerella vaginalis Enhances Atopobium vaginae Viability in an in vitro Model

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection among women of reproductive age. A hallmark of BV is the presence of a highly structured polymicrobial biofilm on the vaginal epithelium, presumably initiated by facultative anaerobes of the ...

Biofilm-Forming Capacity and Drug Resistance of Different Gardnerella Subgroups Associated with Bacterial Vaginosis

Microorganisms, 2023
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common infection of the lower reproductive tract among women of reproductive age. Recurrent infections and antibiotic resistance associated with biofilms remain significant challenges for BV treatment.

Genome sequences of 15 Gardnerella vaginalis strains isolated from the vaginas of women with and without bacterial vaginosis [PDF]

, 2016
Gardnerella vaginalis is a predominant species in bacterial vaginosis, a dysbiosis of the vagina that is associated with adverse health outcomes, including preterm birth.

Identification and characterization of novel endolysins targeting Gardnerella vaginalis biofilms to treat bacterial vaginosis

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2022
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a recurrent dysbiosis that is frequently associated with preterm birth, increased risk for acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The overgrowth of a key pathobiont,

In vitro bacterial vaginosis biofilm community manipulation using endolysin therapy

Biofilm, 2023
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) affects approximately 26% of women of childbearing age globally, presenting with 3–5 times increased risk of miscarriage and two-fold risk of pre-term birth.

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
