Drawing the line between commensal and pathogenic Gardnerella vaginalis through genome analysis and virulence studies
BACKGROUND: Worldwide, bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal disorder. It is associated with risk for preterm birth and HIV infection. The etiology of the condition has been debated for nearly half a century and the lack of knowledge about its cause and progression has stymied efforts...
