  • Title: Gardnerella vaginalis vaginitis. The current opinion.
    Author: Brown D, Kaufman RH, Gardner HL.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1984 May; 29(5):300-6. PubMed ID: 6374137.
    Abstract:
    Gardnerella vaginalis, a gram-negative bacillus, was first described in 1954. The associated clinical entity, vaginitis, first described in 1955, is controversial. The disease has specific symptoms, signs and diagnostic criteria. It has a symbiotic relationship with anaerobic bacteria. Whether G. vaginalis is a pathogen or normal inhabitant of the vagina is a subject of debate. The term nonspecific vaginitis should not be used for G. vaginalis vaginitis. G. vaginalis is sexually transmitted.
