The present survey reviews the current knowledge on comma-shaped anaerobic rods that can be isolated from the human genital tract. It summarizes bacterial characteristics such as morphology, biochemical activities, gas chromatographic patterns and differential diagnostic tests. In particular the existence of two variants of such rods is stressed. These variants differ in length, number of flagella, certain biochemical activities and susceptibility to nitroimidazoles. The occurrence of comma-shaped rods in relation to clinical findings is also discussed.
本次调查回顾了目前关于可从人类生殖道分离出的逗号形厌氧杆菌的知识。它总结了细菌的特征，如形态、生化活性、气相色谱图谱和鉴别诊断试验。特别强调了此类杆菌存在两种变体。这些变体在长度、鞭毛数量、某些生化活性以及对硝基咪唑类药物的敏感性方面存在差异。还讨论了逗号形杆菌的出现与临床发现的关系。
