متن کاملAntibiotic resistance of Gardnerella vaginalis in recurrent bacterial vaginosis.

Sixty eight per cent of all isolates were resistant to metronidazole while 76% were sensitive to clindamycin.

The role of Gardnerella vaginalis remains controversial due to its presence in healthy and BV-type vaginal microflora. The phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity of G. vaginalis suggested the existence of strain variants linked with different health conditions. We sought to an...
