Bacterial Vaginosis is characterized by unpleasant odors, and potentially painful side effects, as well as the risk of associated health issues later in life. More than half of the patients who seek medical care do not respond to the first-line treatment, the antibiotic metronidazole, leading to recurrence. The main bacterial pathogens associated with Bacterial Vaginosis are a group of related bacterial species previously known as Gardnerella vaginalis. Earlier work by Garth Ehrlich, PhD, a professor of Microbiology and Immunology in the College of Medicine, and colleagues revealed that this group is actually composed of multiple species. Read more.
