The Skin Microbiome: A New Key Player in Melanoma, From Onset to Metastatic Stage
ABSTRACT The skin microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health, defending the body against harmful pathogens, and interacting with melanoma. The composition of the skin microbiome can be affected by factors like age, gender, ethnicity, lifestyle, diet, and UV exposure. Certain bacteria like Staphylococcus and Veillonella are important for

A modified scheme for biotyping Gardnerella vaginalis [PDF]
A scheme is proposed for biotyping Gardnerella vaginalis, based on detection of hippurate hydrolysis, beta-galactosidase (ONPG) and lipase, and fermentation of arabinose, galactose and xylose. Seventeen biotypes were found among 197 strains from asymptomatic women and patients with bacterial vaginosis (non-specific vaginitis).

Understanding the Associations of Urogenital Microbiomes With Fertility and In Vitro Fertilization
ABSTRACT Infertility, defined as the inability to establish a clinical pregnancy after a year of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse, impacts 8%–12% of couples worldwide. Many of these couples turn to in vitro fertilization (IVF) to build their families. The success rate of IVF procedures is variable, with estimates of up to 40% of embryo transfers

Zusammenfassung Die Urethritis ist ein häufiges, überwiegend durch sexuell übertragene Erreger wie Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae oder Mycoplasma genitalium verursachtes Krankheitsbild. Alleine aufgrund klinischer Merkmale ist die Unterscheidung der Erreger und der Ausschluss von Koinfektionen nicht sicher möglich.

Cell Wall Analysis of Gardnerella vaginalis (Haemophilus vaginalis) [PDF]
Thin-layer chromatography was used to examine the amino acid and carbohydrate composition of the cell wall of the type strain of Gardnerella vaginalis and 11 clinical isolates. All strains contained alanine, glutamic acid, glycine, lysine, glucose, galactose, and another sugar tentatively identified as 6-deoxytalose.

Gardnerella vaginalis, from the Vaginal Microbiota to Prosthetic Joint Infection [PDF]
We describe two cases of chronic Gardnerella vaginalis prosthetic hip infections, in an immunocompetent postmenopausal woman and a young immunocompromised woman. G. vaginalis was also isolated from the genital tract, suggesting hematogenous spread of the
