Gardnerella Vaginalis
''Gardnerella vaginalis'' is a species of Gram-variable-staining facultative anaerobic bacteria. The organisms are small (1.0–1.5 μm in diameter) non-spore-forming, nonmotile coccobacilli. Once classified as ''Haemophilus vaginalis'' and afterwards as ''Corynebacterium vaginalis'', ''G. vaginalis'' grows as small, circular, convex, gray colonies on chocolate agar; it also grows on agar. A selective medium for ''G. vaginalis'' is colistin-oxolinic acid blood agar. Clinical significance ''G. vaginalis'' is a facultatively anaerobic Gram-variable rod that is involved, together with many other bacteria, mostly anaerobic, in bacterial vaginosis in some women as a result of a disruption in the normal vaginal microflora. The resident facultative anaerobic ''Lactobacillus'' population in the vagina is responsible for the acidic environment. Once the anaerobes have supplanted the normal vaginal bacteria, prescription antibiotics with anaerobic coverage may have to be given to r ...
