  • Title: [A biotype study of Gardnerella vaginalis isolated from patients with and without symptoms of bacterial vaginosis].
    Author: Barberis IL, Pájaro MC, Daniele ML, Godino S, Pascual L.
    Journal: Enferm Infecc Microbiol Clin; 1999 Dec; 17(10):506-8. PubMed ID: 10650646.
    Abstract:
    METHODS: A simple and reproducible proposed for Benito et al. scheme for identification biotypes of Gardnerella vaginalis has been developed, based on reactions for lipase, hippurate, hydrolysis, and beta-galactosidase. RESULTS: 11 biotypes were found among 130 strains from women with and without bacterial vaginosis (non-specific vaginitis) 1A, 5B; 8B, 5C, 8C, 1E, 6G and 7G in women with vaginosis and the biotypes 1A, 5B, 8B, 1C, 8F and 6H in women without vaginosis. These biotypes 1A; 5B and 8B were found in two groups. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that some biotypes of G. vaginalis are associated with bacterial vaginosis.
