Condition Type: Bacteria

The following conditions are considered to be bacteria:

Corynebacterium pyruviciproducens in the vagina

Isolated from the human vagina. May stimulate macrophages, have immunoregulatory properties. Macrophages remove pathogenic bacteria. Promotes antibody response in vivo. Activates macrophages, causes sharp release of interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-α. Promotes host humoral immune response to pathogenic micro-organisms. 1 Study on antimicrobial susceptibility2 Non-flagellate, non-spore-forming3 References

Acinetobacter ursingii in the vagina

Isolated from the human vagina1. Opportunistic human pathogen2. Study3 Study4 References

Anaerococcus jeddahensis in the vagina

Isolated from the human vagina. Originally discovered in the faeces of a healthy nomadic woman from Saudi Arabia1. References

Anaerococcus senegalensis in the vagina

Found in human faeces sample of a healthy person. Grows well at 37C.

Anaerococcus nagyae in the vagina

Isolated from human samples. First found in a blood culture. Weakly ferments mannose, can not ferment glucose or raffinose. 1 References

Haemophilus parainfluenzae in the vagina

H. parainfluenzae is a known human pathogen that can cause infection in the genital tract.

Ureaplasma spp.

Ureaplasma species are tiny microbes capable of being both a commensal and a pathogen.

Actinotignum schaalii in the genitourinary tract (formerly Actinobaculum schaalii)

A. schaalii can cause urinary tract infections, and has been found in urine, pus, blood and sperm cultures.

Prevotella melaninogenica in the vagina

P. melaninogenica is usually found in the mouth, and is an opportunistic pathogen of the vagina, lungs and bones.

Streptococcus spp. in the vagina

Streptococci can cause inflammation at infection sites, including the vagina and urinary tract.

Lawsonella clevelandensis in the vagina

Fastidious, slow growing, emerging pathogen1. Partially acid-fast, non-spore-forming, catalase positive, pleomorphic, isolated from human abscesses (spinal, peritoneal, breast), shares similarity with Dietzia timorensis (DSM 45568)2. Corynebacterineae suborder. Antimicrobial susceptibility is lacking, discussed in this study3, with normal habitat unclear. This organism may be part of normal human microbiota. References

Leptothrix vaginalis

Leptothrix vaginalis is a relative of lactobacilli, but is longer and can be an unpleasant coloniser.

Klebsiella oxytoca in urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections

K. oxytoca is a commensal bacteria normally found in the gut and respiratory tract of humans, however is an emerging pathogen.

Klebsiella granulomatis in urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections

Klebsiella granulomatis causes a condition known as granuloma inguinale, which results in inflammation and scarring of the genitals.

Citrobacter koseri vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections

Citrobacter koseri is considered normal microflora of the human digestive tract, but can be an opportunistic pathogen, causing sometimes serious, antibiotic-resistant infections and abscesses.

Serratia spp. vulvovaginal infections

Species included: Serratia marcesens

Shigella dysenteriae vulvovaginal infections

Shigella dysenteriae can cause vulvovaginal infections in girls and women, along with other Shigella species.

Shigella flexneri vulvovaginal infections

Serratia marcescens urinary tract infections

Serratia marcescens is commonly associated with hospital-acquired urinary tract and other infections.
