Gardnerella Vaginalis Nucleic Acid

The most common cause of vaginitis in women is bacterial vaginosis, and the important pathogenic bacterium of bacterial vaginosis is Gardnerella vaginalis. Gardnerella vaginalis (GV) is an opportunistic pathogen that does not cause disease when present in small amounts. However, when the dominant vaginal bacteria Lactobacilli are reduced or eliminated, causing an imbalance in the vaginal environment, Gardnerella vaginalis multiplies in large numbers, leading to bacterial vaginosis. At the same time, other pathogens (such as Candida, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, etc.) are more likely to invade the human body, causing mixed vaginitis and cervicitis. If vaginitis and cervicitis are not diagnosed and treated in a timely and effective manner, there may be ascending infections by the pathogens along the reproductive tract mucosa, easily leading to upper reproductive tract infections such as endometritis, salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA), and pelvic peritonitis, which may lead to serious complications such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy and even adverse pregnancy outcomes.
