See Clostridium spp. for more information, since this bacteria is being considered as part of this family.

Fannyhessea vaginae (formerly Atopobium vaginae) vulvovaginal infections

Atopobium vaginae has a negative effect on vaginal cells, causing inflammation, being highly associated with recurrent bacterial vaginosis, most often found with Gardnerella vaginalis.

Gardnerella vaginalis vulvovaginal infections

Gardnerella vaginalis is a microbe highly correlated with bacterial vaginosis and vaginal dysbiosis. G. vaginalis develops biofilms, which can make it treatment-resistant for long periods of time when using conventional treatments.

Parvimonas micra in bacterial vaginosis

Parvimonas micra is usually found in the mouth and intestines, but can cause vaginal infections and be found in vaginal flora. P. micra is associated with BV and other vaginal infections.

Finegoldia magna in BV

Finegoldia magna is often found naturally in the vagina as a friendly commensal bacteria, but can also be associated with and contribute to bacterial vaginosis. Finegoldia magna can cause a vinegar or ammonia-like smell from the vagina, and compete with friendly lactobacilli.
