Treatment: Gentian Violet - Probably

The following conditions may be treated by gentian violet - probably:

Slackia spp. vulvovaginal infections

Streptococcus parasanguinis vulvovaginal infections

Finegoldia magna vulvovaginal infections

F. magna is a known vaginal pathogen causing bacterial vaginosis and other symptoms, though it can also be a commensal.

Eggerthella hongkongensis vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections

Eggerthella hongkongensis is a commensal bacteria found commonly in the human digestive tract, however recently this species of Eggerthella has been found to be responsible for severe infections. There is currently no reports of Eggerthella hongkongensis in vulvovaginal or urinary tract infections, however it may be part of a group of emerging pathogens.

Lactobacillus gasseri vulvovaginal and urinary tract colonisation

Lactobacillus gasseri is one of the heros of your vagina, being a good coloniser, and a hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid producer.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae vulvovaginal infections

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a yeast that can inhabit the vagina, but is most famous for fermentation in wine, baking bread and brewing beer, with vulvovaginitis uncommon, but more likely to occur more in women who work in or near someone who works in a bakery or brewery.

Lactobacillus iners

Lactobacillus iners in sufficient colonies may predispose someone to bacterial vaginosis. L. iners and sulfur (and cysteine) L. iners growth is dependent on L-cysteine in vitro. Researchers traced this phenotype to the absence of canonical cysteine biosynthesis pathways and a restricted repertoire of cysteine-related transport mechanisms1. Cysteine concentrations in cervicovaginal lavage samples correlate with Lactobacillus abundance in

Lachnospira spp. vulvovaginal infections or colonisation

Generally probiotic gut bacteria. Some lachnospira taxa can be found in women with bacterial vaginosis.

Peptostreptococcus anaerobius vulvovaginal infections

Peptoniphilus spp. vulvovaginal infections

Peptoniphilus were formerly classified in the genus Peptostreptococcus.

Peptococcus spp. vulvovaginal colonisation and infections

Part of normal flora of the mouth, intestine, vagina and skin, but can be involved in infections, for example in a wound.

Parvimonas micra vulvovaginal colonisation

Originally classified as Peptostreptococcus micros in 1933, in 1999 was reclassified as Micromonas micros, then reclassified again in 2006 as Parvimonas micra. Oral pathogen involved in dental plaque.

Streptococcus vestibularis vulvovaginal infections

S. vestibularis can be found in the vagina, but is not associated with vulvovaginal infections, though can rarely cause human infection.

Gemella asaccharolytica vulvovaginal infections

Isolated from the human vagina. Found primarily in mucous membranes of mammals, including humans, particularly in the mouth and upper digestive tract. Found occasionally in heart infections. 1 Gemellus = geminus (Latin for twin) = because this species are dicoccus meaning two cocci. Gemella asaccharolytica is related to bacterial vaginosis.

Eubacterium spp. vulvovaginal infections

Eubacterium spp. contains anaerobic, non-spore-forming, gram-positive rods, rigid cell wall, motile or nonmotile, with several negative metabolic characteristics. Eubacterium is the second most common genus after the genus Bacteroides in the human intestine, being more common than the genus Bifidobacterium. The genus has important gut species. Eubacterium species identification is typically based on phenotypic traits and requires experience and is time-consuming, thus
