Gardnerella vaginalis as a rare cause of prosthetic joint infection.
We describe a septic loosening of a hip prosthesis in a 71-year-old woman caused by Gardnerella vaginalis. Infection was confirmed by culture and molecular identification of this bacterium. The patient was treated by a one-step exchange of prosthesis and antibiotic therapy combining trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and rifampin, with favorable evolution.
متن کاملResolution and Characterization of Distinct cpn60-Based Subgroups of Gardnerella vaginalis in the Vaginal Microbiota
Bacterial vaginosis (BV), characterized by a shift of the vaginal microbiota from a Lactobacillus-dominated community to a dense biofilm containing a complex mixture of organisms, is an important risk factor in poor reproductive health outcomes. The Nugent score, based on Gram stain, is used to diagnose BV and Gardnerella vaginalis abundance in the sample is one factor determining Nugent score....
متن کاملGardnerella vaginalis diversity and ecology in relation to vaginal symptoms.
Gardnerella vaginalis was first described in 1953, and subsequently identified as the causative agent of a cluster of vaginal symptoms currently known as vaginosis. Research has so far failed to confirm whether and by which mechanism G. vaginalis initiates vaginosis, with, consequently, poor diagnostics and treatment outcomes. Recent molecular analyses of protein-coding genes demonstrate that t...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activity of vaginal lactobacilli against Gardnerella vaginalis and pathogens
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is a vaginal inflammatory disease, related to the high percentage of recurrences and serious obstetric, gynecological and reproductive problems. This is the reason why microbiologists and gynecologists search for new methods in the treatment and prevention of this condition. In this regard, the characterization of the biological activity of vaginal lactobacillus, that h...
متن کاملDetection of Gardnerella vaginalis in vaginal specimens by direct immunofluorescence.
The preparation of a fluorescein-labeled Gardnerella vaginalis polyclonal antibody is described, and its usefulness is assessed for the detection of this microorganism in vaginal samples obtained from 263 women attending the gynecological department of a general hospital, 66 of whom harbored an intrauterine device. The direct immunofluorescence technique was positive for G. vaginalis in 21% of ...
