Vaginal Microbiota and Ovarian Cancer: A New Frontier in Immunomodulation and Diagnosis. [PDF]

Immunology
Microbial imbalance, dysbiosis, plays a role in ovarian carcinogenesis by interacting with the immune system and altering inflammatory pathways, notably Th17 pathways. In contrast, eubiosis, characterised by Lactobacillus dominance, protects against infections and maintains hormone metabolism.

Competition Among Gardnerella Subgroups From the Human Vaginal Microbiome

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 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.

Fluorescence in situ Hybridization method using Peptide Nucleic Acid probes for rapid detection of Lactobacillus and Gardnerella spp. [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2013
Abstract Background Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal infection occurring in women of reproductive age. It is widely accepted that the microbial switch from normal microflora to BV is characterized by a decrease in vaginal colonization by Lactobacillus species together with an increase of Gardnerella ...

PCR And Sequencing Technique Detection Of Gardnerella Spp Associated With Urinary Tract Vaginosis

South Eastern European Journal of Public Health
Introduction: Gardnerella is a bacteria originally described in bacterial vaginosis, which can colonize the urinary tract and is often associated with vaginosis when present as a single-species flora. Commonly found in vaginal tracts, and it is also associated genital tract problems.

Gardnerella diversity and ecology in pregnancy and preterm birth

MSystems
The vaginal microbiome has been linked to negative health outcomes including preterm birth. Specific taxa, including Gardnerella spp., have been identified as risk factors for these conditions.

Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications of Microbiome-Mediated Immune Dysregulation in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss and Implantation Failure. [PDF]

Am J Reprod Immunol
ABSTRACT Problem Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as two or more consecutive pregnancy losses before 20 weeks of gestation, affects 1%–5% of couples of reproductive age worldwide. Growing evidence indicates a role for the microbiome in reproductive health, particularly in unexplained RPL.

Microbial Contributions to Primate Reproduction. [PDF]

Evol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Reproduction is a complex process, and microbes play a far greater role than previously imagined. This review explores the ways that microbiomes influence the rich tapestry of reproductive processes and outcomes within the primate lineage, including pre‐copulatory and post‐copulatory mechanisms.

Gardnerella fibrinogen-binding protein as a candidate adherence factor [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Bacterial vaginosis (BV), a form of vaginal dysbiosis, is associated with numerous adverse reproductive and obstetric outcomes. Gardnerella spp. are among the key bacteria identified in most BV cases.

Microbial interactions among Gardnerella, Prevotella and Fannyhessea prior to incident bacterial vaginosis: protocol for a prospective, observational study [PDF]

BMJ Open
Introduction The aetiology of bacterial vaginosis (BV), a biofilm-associated vaginal infection, remains unknown. Epidemiologic data suggest that it is sexually transmitted. BV is characterised by loss of lactic acid-producing lactobacilli and an increase
