Saccharomyces cerevisiae vulvovaginal infections
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a yeast that can inhabit the vagina, but is most famous for fermentation in wine, baking bread and brewing beer, with vulvovaginitis uncommon, but more likely to occur more in women who work in or near someone who works in a bakery or brewery.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections
Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections, but tends to prefer other locations on the human body to infect.
Proteus vulgaris urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections
Proteus vulgaris typically lives in the digestive tract of humans, causing infections in wounds and as opportunity arises, infections in the urinary tract.
Proteus mirabilis urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections
Proteus mirabilis is a bacteria that commonly causes urinary tract infections and can contribute to bacterial vaginosis.
Prevotella timonensis vulvovaginal infections
Prevotella timonensis commonly lives in healthy mouths and vaginal tracts, but is an opportunistic pathogen, sometimes leading to unpleasant symptoms, like bacterial vaginosis or abscesses in the mouth.
Prevotella intermedia vulvovaginal infections
P. intermedia is involved in mouth infections, is found more in pregnant women, and may be involved with bacterial vaginosis.
Prevotella disiens vulvovaginal infections
Prevotella disiens was formerly known as part of Bacteroides disiens. P. disiens is most commonly found in the mouth, and has been related to bacterial vaginosis.
Prevotella corporis vulvovaginal infections
A member of the Prevotella species that can contribute to infections in the vagina and reproductive tract of women, such as bacterial vaginosis, and in the mouth.
Prevotella buccalis vulvovaginal infections
Prevotella buccalis naturally lives in the mouth and vagina, but is considered an opportunistic pathogen, and is associated with bacterial vaginosis.
Prevotella bivia in the vagina
Prevotella bivia is found in many human infections, including the vagina, contributing to bacterial vaginosis and pelvic inflammatory disease.
Prevotella amnii vulvovaginal infections
Prevotella amnii has been isolated from the endometrial lining of the uterus, and in women with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and bacterial vaginosis.
Porphyromonas gingivalis vulvovaginal infections
P. gingivalis is a pathogenic bacteria frequently involved in gum disease, however it has been found in women with BV and women who are having trouble conceiving.
Bacteroides endodontalis vulvovaginal infections
Highly associated with periodontal disease, causing infections in the gums and tooth roots. Relatives of this species cause or contribute to vaginal infections, and so B. endodontalis is flagged as a possible cause or contributor of vulvovaginal infections or dysbiosis. Bacteria that cause gum disease may survive in the vaginal
Porphyromonas asaccharolytica vulvovaginal infections
Porphyromonas asaccharolytica is a bacteria that can inhabit the vagina and contribute to or cause vulvovaginal infections or dysbiosis, such as bacterial vaginosis.

Klebsiella pneumoniae urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections
Klebsiella pneumoniae may be involved in vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections, being part of aerobic vaginitis.
Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Strep) vulvovaginal infections
Group A Strep - Streptococcus pyogenes - can cause respiratory, skin, vagina and urinary tract infections.
Streptococcus vestibularis vulvovaginal infections
S. vestibularis can be found in the vagina, but is not associated with vulvovaginal infections, though can rarely cause human infection.
Klebsiella aerogenes (formerly Enterobacter aerogenes) vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections
Klebsiella aerogenes is an opportunistic pathogenic bacteria that is susceptible to most antibiotics but is also quick to develop resistance. Naturally found in the human digestive tract, K. aerogenes doesn’t always cause infection in healthy people and can be a normal part of commensal flora. The growth and virility of
