Overview
Common causes of bacterial vaginosis include gardnerella vaginalis, mycoplasma hominis, ureaplasma, and anaerobes.[1][2]
Causes
Common causes of bacterial vaginosis include:[1][2]
- Gardnerella vaginalis
- This strain has been detected in culture samples from nearly all symptomatic women with bacterial vaginosis (BV), as well as in approximately 50% of healthy women.
- Mobiluncus spp.
- Mycoplasma hominis
- Ureaplasma
- Anaerobes
