Prevotella spp. in the vagina
Prevotella species are a group of bacteria that live in the mouth and vagina, and can cause infections, particularly in the gums, lungs, sinuses and ears, and wounds. Prevotella species associated with vulvovaginal or urogenital infections include:
Hoylesella timonensis (formerly 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 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.
Prevotella spp. in the vagina and mouth
Prevotella is a bacteria commonly found in the mouth, but it can also live in the genital tract.
