Antibiotic susceptibility of Atopobium vaginae
BACKGROUND Previous studies have indicated that a recently described anaerobic bacterium, Atopobium vaginae is associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV). Thus far the four isolates of this fastidious micro-organism were found to be highly resistant to metronidazole and susceptible for clindamycin, two antibiotics preferred for the treatment of BV. METHODS Nine strains of Atopobium vaginae, fou...
متن کاملBacterial Vaginosis, Atopobium vaginae and Nifuratel
As bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a potential cause of obstetric complications and gynecological disorders, there is substantial interest in establishing the most effective treatment. Standard treatment - metronidazole or clindamycin, by either vaginal or oral route � is followed by relapses in about 30% of cases, within a month from treatment completion. This inability to prevent recurrences refl...
متن کاملTuboovarian abscess caused by Atopobium vaginae following transvaginal oocyte recovery.
A 39-year-old woman with tubarian sterility fell ill with acute pelvic inflammatory disease 2 months after transvaginal oocyte recovery. Laparotomy revealed a large tuboovarian abscess, from which Atopobium vaginae, an anaerobic gram-positive coccoid bacterium of hitherto unknown clinical significance, was isolated. The microbial etiology and the risk of pelvic infections following transvaginal...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of a Metronidazole-Susceptible Atopobium vaginae Isolate
We report the draft genome sequence of a vaginal isolate of Atopobium vaginae vaginae (strain 44061), an organism linked to bacterial vaginosis (BV), the most common gynecological infection in the United States. This species is often highly resistant to metronidazole, which is a front-line therapy for BV. Strain 44061 is a metronidazole-susceptible isolate (MIC, 16 µg/ml), and its genome sequen...
متن کاملAssociation of Atopobium vaginae, a recently described metronidazole resistant anaerobe, with bacterial vaginosis
BACKGROUND Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a polymicrobial syndrome characterized by a change in vaginal flora away from predominantly Lactobacillus species. The cause of BV is unknown, but the condition has been implicated in diverse medical outcomes. The bacterium Atopobium vaginae has been recognized only recently. It is not readily identified by commercial diagnostic kits. Its clinical signific...
