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 mucosal environment given the right
