Micrococcus luteus is a cause of urinary tract and other forms of infection in humans, and is multi-drug resistant.
Klebsiella pneumoniae may be involved in vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections, being part of aerobic vaginitis.
Helicobacter pylori is most commonly associated with stomach ulcers, but it can affect other areas of the body like the vagina, urinary tract, and mouth.
Klebsiella aerogenes is an opportunistic pathogenic bacteria that is susceptible to most antibiotics but is also quick to develop resistance. Naturally found in the human digestive tract, K. aerogenes doesn’t always cause infection in healthy people and can be a normal part of commensal flora. The growth and virility of this bacteria is highly variable
U. urealyticum can be a commensal, but can cause inflammation in the vagina and urinary tract.
See Finegoldia magna, formerly known as Peptostreptococcus magnus.
Enterococcus faecalis is naturally extremely hardy and highly antibiotic resistant, causing aerobic vaginitis and urinary tract infections.
Escherichia coli is found in most mammals, with most strains harmless (or even probiotic), but others cause food poisoning, urinary tract infections, and vulvovaginal infections.
Acinetobacter lwoffii is found in about 25 per cent of healthy people in the nose and throat and skin, however has been implicated in pathogenic infections, particularly UTIs.
Acinetobacter calcoaceticus is an emerging hospital-acquired infection that can develop biofilms and can cause urinary tract infections.
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic bacteria, known to be a pathogen particularly in immunocompromised people in hospitals.
Gardnerella vaginalis is a microbe highly correlated with bacterial vaginosis and vaginal dysbiosis. G. vaginalis develops biofilms, which can make it treatment-resistant for long periods of time when using conventional treatments.
