A scheme is proposed for biotyping Gardnerella vaginalis, based on detection of hippurate hydrolysis, beta-galactosidase (ONPG) and lipase, and fermentation of arabinose, galactose and xylose. Seventeen biotypes were found among 197 strains from asymptomatic women and patients with bacterial vaginosis (non-specific vaginitis). The distribution of biotypes was similar in both populations but some biotypes were found more frequently in patients. The proposed scheme is compared with those previously described.
提出了一种基于检测马尿酸盐水解、β-半乳糖苷酶(ONPG)和脂肪酶以及阿拉伯糖、半乳糖和木糖发酵对阴道加德纳菌进行生物分型的方案。在197株来自无症状女性和细菌性阴道病(非特异性阴道炎)患者的菌株中发现了17种生物型。两种人群中生物型的分布相似,但有些生物型在患者中更为常见。将所提出的方案与先前描述的方案进行了比较。
