Condition Type: Bacteria

The following conditions are considered to be bacteria:

Staphylococcus lugdunensis in the urogenital tract

Staphylococcus lugdunensis is not a common infectious agent, being generally considered to be a commensal of the skin1. What we know: Atypical in its virulence factors2 Unique microbial profile May be misidentified as Staphylococcus aureus Causes abscesses and wound infections of skin and soft tissue, particularly around implanted devices such as catheters Cause of urinary

Fenollaria massiliensis in the urogenital tract

Pediococcus acidilactici in the vagina

P. acidilactici is usually found in the digestive tract and is considered a probiotic gut bacteria.

Blautia obeum in the urogenital tract

Formerly known as Ruminococcus obeum Found in the human gut Isolated rarely from the human vagina Represses cholera-causing bacteria

Bacteroides dorei in the urogenital tract

Bacteroides dorei is very rarely found in the human vagina, most often found in the human digestive system.

Staphylococcus hominis in the urogenital tract

S. hominis is found all over the place, being an opportunistic pathogen, though found as a harmless commensal on the skin.

Staphylococcus warneri urogenital infections

Isolated from the human vagina and urinary tract Cause of urinary tract infections1 Related to hospital stays and catheterisation2 Commensal of mammal skin3 Grows best at between 30-40 °C Possible cause of miscarriages in cows and humans Associated with vertebral discitis, urinary tract infection, meningitis, bone infections, ventricular shunt infections and infective endocarditis Often considered a

Gemella haemolysans in the genitourinary tract

G. haemolysans is a commensal bacteria found typically where there are mucous membranes i.e. the mouth, lungs and vagina.

Corynebacterium amycolatum vulvovaginal infections

Uses glucose Related to the bacteria that causes diptheria, Corynebacterium diptheriae Found on human skin and mucous membranes as a commensal Often disregarded as a contaminant Opportunistic pathogen that can cause serious human disease First identified in 1988 Often confused with other pathogens, C. minutissimum and C. xerosis Generally resistant to multiple antibiotics No standard

Corynebacterium simulans

Has been isolated from the human vagina.

Variovorax paradoxus

Vario-vorax means various-voracious, able to devour many substrates, while para-doxus means contrary-opinion, describing the nature of this microbe. Isolated from the human vagina1 Variovorax can utilise a wide variety of energy sources Carotenoid pigments produce yellow-green colonies Optimal growth temperature is 30 °C Isolated from diverse environments – soil, rhizomes, drinking water, groundwater, caves, marine sediment,

Aerococcus christensenii in the vagina

Isolated from the human vagina1, emerging human pathogen2. Has caused chorioamnionitis in pregnant women3. Often misidentified as streptococci in labs, resulting in underrepresentation in infections2. Full genome sequencing was performed in 20164. References

Isolated from the human gut and vagina1. Genus Peptostreptococcus2,3. References

Enterobacter cloacae in the urinary tract and vagina

E. cloacae is a commensal of the digestive tract, but is known to cause urinary tract and other infections.

Staphylococcus epidermidis in the vagina

This commensal skin bacteria can also inhabit mucous membranes (vagina, urinary tract, mouth, etc.) and cause opportunistic infections.

Actinomyces neuii in the vagina

A. neuii is understood to be a commensal bacteria found in a healthy vagina.

Rothia mucilaginosa in the vagina

Isolated from the human vagina. Formerly known as Stomatococcus mucilaginosus May cause soft tissue, skin, prosthetics and mouth infections. Commensal of the skin and oral cavity. 1 Family Micrococcaceae References
