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 ...

Development of the standard mouse model for human bacterial vaginosis induced by Gardnerella vaginalis. [PDF]
Front Vet Sci, 2023 Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a polymicrobial syndrome characterized by a diminished number of protective bacteria in the vaginal flora. Instead, it is accompanied by a significant increase in facultative and strict anaerobes, including Gardnerella ...

Synthetic bacterial consortia transplantation for the treatment of Gardnerella vaginalis-induced bacterial vaginosis in mice. [PDF]
Microbiome, 2023 Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a disease caused by vaginal microbiota dysbiosis. Here, we propose the use of synthetic bacterial consortia transplantation (SBCT) for the treatment of Gardnerella vaginalis -induced BV mice.

Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analysis of Gardnerella vaginalis Responding to Acidic pH and Hydrogen Peroxide Stress. [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Gardnerella vaginalis is the main pathogen that causes bacterial vaginosis. In the healthy vaginal microecological environment of a woman, the lactobacilli produce lactate and hydrogen peroxide to inhibit the growth of pathogens such as G. vaginalis. The
