In Silico Analysis of Gardnerella Genomospecies Detected in the Setting of Bacterial Vaginosis [Infectious Disease]

CONCLUSIONS: Multiple Gardnerella genomospecies operating in isolation or in concert with one another may be responsible for bacterial vaginosis. These results have important implications for future efforts to understand the evolution of the Gardnerella genomospecies, host–pathogen interactions of the genomospecies during bacterial vaginosis, diagnostic assay development for bacterial vaginosis, and metagenomic investigations of the vaginal microbiota.
