Formerly Peptostreptococcus vaginalis, Anaerococcus vaginalis has been isolated from vaginal discharge and ovarian abscesses, signifying that it can be a cause of pelvic infection in women. There isn’t much research to work from at the moment to explain how prevalent this bacteria is in vulvovaginal or urinary tract infections.
Anaerococcus vaginalis has about five strains that are resistant to typical antibiotic treatments, with three of those for tetracycline and two for erythromycin.
