Prospective study of vaginal samples for the detection of Gardnerella vaginalis and G. swidsinskii/leopoldii using Gardnerella agar in CO2 and anaerobic atmospheres [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumGardnerella vaginalis is a key bacterium in the etiology of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and contributes to biofilm formation. Gardnerella is a facultative anaerobic bacterium, meaning it can grow both in the presence of oxygen and under anaerobic conditions.

The effects of the Caribbean medicinal plant Argemone mexicana on Gardnerella vaginalis using a co-culture method with vaginal Lactobacillus spp. [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBacterial vaginosis (BV) is caused by vaginal microbiome dysbiosis, when beneficial Lactobacillus species are no longer dominant and are replaced by harmful anaerobic bacteria such as Gardnerella vaginalis.

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 ...
