Lateral Gene Transfer Shapes Diversity of Gardnerella spp. [PDF]

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.

Growth Forms of Gardnerella spp. and Lactobacillus spp. on Vaginal Cells [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal condition in women of reproductive age. During BV development, BV-associated bacteria may form a polymicrobial biofilm, which predispose women to recurrent BV.

Dequalinium Chloride Effectively Disrupts Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) Gardnerella spp. Biofilms [PDF]

Pathogens, 2021
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most frequent vaginal infection worldwide. It is caused by the overgrowth of anaerobic vaginal pathogens such as Gardnerella spp.

Prevalence and clinical correlates of Gardnerella spp., Fannyhessea vaginae, Lactobacillus crispatus and L. iners in pregnant women in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundGardnerella is a key pathogen in bacterial vaginosis (BV), but the role of the different Gardnerella species remains unclear. We investigated the role of four Gardnerella species, as well as Fannyhessea vaginae, Lactobacillus crispatus and L ...

Phase variable colony variants are conserved across Gardnerella spp. and exhibit different virulence-associated phenotypes

MSphere
The Gardnerella genus, comprising at least 13 species, is associated with the polymicrobial disorder bacterial vaginosis (BV). However, the details of BV pathogenesis are poorly defined, and the contributions made by individual species, including ...

Acidic Electrolyzed Water Inhibits the Viability of Gardnerella spp. via Oxidative Stress Response [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
The vaginal microbiota, dominated by Lactobacilli, plays an important role in maintaining women's health. Disturbance of the vaginal microbiota allows infection by various pathogens such as Gardnerella spp. (GS) and related anaerobic bacteria resulting in bacterial vaginosis (BV).

Detection of Gardnerella vaginalis, Candida spp. and Trichomonas vaginalis DNA in symptomatic women

Microbiologia Medica, 2010
While vaginitis caused by Trichomonas vaginalis is now less frequent, fungal Candida spp. infections are frequently found and the bacterial vaginosis is one of the most common vaginal diseases caused by anaerobic microorganisms such as Gardnerella ...

Research Progress on the Correlation Between Gardnerella Typing and Bacterial Vaginosis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common infectious disease of the reproductive tract in women of childbearing age. It often manifests as an imbalance in the vaginal microbiome, including a decrease in Lactobacillus and an increase in anaerobic ...

Does Increased Estrogen Levels Affect The Number of Lactobacillus spp and Gardnerella vaginalis in The Endometrial Cavity? A Prospective Study [PDF]

International Journal of Fertility and Sterility
Background: The endometrial microbiome, its composition, and the quantity of some bacteria could be predictors of successful implantation in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment.

Cervicovaginal loads of Gardnerella spp. are increased in immunocompetent women with persistent high-risk human papillomavirus infection

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2022
Introduction. Two high-oncogenic-risk human papilomavirus (hrHPV) genotypes – HPV16 and HPV18 – cause most of the cases of cervical cancer worldwide. Bacterial vaginosis is associated with increased hrHPV persistence, although the mechanism underlying this association remains unclear ...
