See also the genus page: gardnerella Gardnerella vaginalis is the primary causative agent of bacterial vaginosis (BV), the most common vaginal infection worldwide. This species page focuses on the species-level biology — particularly the vaginolysin cytotoxin and biofil…
Atopobium is a genus of obligate anaerobic, Gram-positive bacteria in the phylum Actinobacteria. The primary species of clinical relevance is A. vaginae (recently reclassified as Fannyhessea vaginae), which is one of the hallmark organisms of bacterial vaginosis (BV) an…
