Antimicrobial susceptibilities of Gardnerella vaginalis

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1993
The in vitro susceptibilities of 93 clinical isolates of Gardnerella vaginalis to 25 antimicrobial agents were determined by the agar dilution method. All isolates were susceptible to penicillin, ampicillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, and trimethoprim.

Pili on Gardnerella vaginalis studied by electronmicroscopy [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1987
Fourteen recently isolated strains and two laboratory strains of Gardnerella vaginalis were examined by electronmicroscopy for the presence of pili. All strains isolated recently from both men and women were heavily pilated. In contrast only a few pili were seen on organisms of the two laboratory strains, with many of the organisms having no pili.

Beyond the Barrier: Epithelial Cells as Immune Sentinels in the Female Genital Tract

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 95, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Epithelial cells (ECs) of the female genital tract (FGT) serve as an essential barrier and the first line of defense against sexually transmitted pathogens. Beyond providing a physical barrier, these cells actively contribute to immune responses through pathogen recognition, cytokine release, and modulation of adaptive immune responses ...

Resolution and co-occurrence patterns of Gardnerella leopoldii, Gardnerella swidsinskii, Gardnerella piotii and Gardnerella vaginalis within the vaginal microbiome

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

Table_1_Competition Among Gardnerella Subgroups From the Human Vaginal Microbiome.pdf

, 2019
Gardnerella spp. are hallmarks of bacterial vaginosis, a clinically significant dysbiosis of the vaginal microbiome. Gardnerella has four subgroups (A, B, C, and D) based on cpn60 sequences.

Assessing the Impact of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting on Genital Inflammation and Microbiota Among Kenyan Female Sex Workers

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 95, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Problem Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is harmful to physical, mental, and reproductive health, though the effect of this practice on a woman's HIV susceptibility is poorly understood. Despite the known associations of FGM/C with short‐term vaginal epithelial damage, neither genital inflammation nor the genital microbiome have been ...

Dominance network analysis of the healthy human vaginal microbiome not dominated by Lactobacillus species

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2020
Although Lactobacillus dominance is one of the commonest characteristics of many healthy vaginal microbiomes, a significant proportion of healthy women lack an appreciable amount of Lactobacillus in their microbiome.

Scoping Review of Sexual and Gender Minority Health Research in Ireland

Journal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4625-4659, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To map existing sexual and gender minority (SGM) health research in Ireland, identify gaps in literature and outline priorities for future research and healthcare. SGM is an umbrella term that includes people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or intersex and is sometimes abbreviated as LGBTQI+.
