Fourteen of 194 (7.2%) consecutive unselected men had positive culture results from genital swabs for Gardnerella vaginalis. A higher yield of isolates was obtained from preputial (93%) than from urethral swabs (64%). Of the 14 men, two had no detectable genital abnormality, eight non-gonococcal urethritis, and nine balanoposthitis. The urethral isolation rates for G vaginalis in men with and without non-gonococcal urethritis were not significantly different, but preputial isolation rates were significantly higher (p less than 0.001) in men with balanoposthitis than in those without. The prevalence rate for G vaginalis in men with non-candidal balanoposthitis was 31%. In a second study, concomitant Bacteroides species were isolated in preputial swabs from nine of 12 (75%) men with G vaginalis-associated balanoposthitis and may play a role in its pathogenesis.
在194名连续入选的未经过筛选的男性中,有14人(7.2%)的生殖器拭子培养结果显示阴道加德纳菌呈阳性。从包皮拭子(93%)中分离出该菌的阳性率高于尿道拭子(64%)。在这14名男性中,2人未检测出生殖器异常,8人患有非淋菌性尿道炎,9人患有龟头炎。有无非淋菌性尿道炎的男性中,阴道加德纳菌的尿道分离率无显著差异,但患有龟头炎的男性包皮分离率显著高于未患龟头炎的男性(p<0.001)。患有非念珠菌性龟头炎的男性中,阴道加德纳菌的患病率为31%。在第二项研究中,12名患有阴道加德纳菌相关性龟头炎的男性中有9人(75%)的包皮拭子中分离出了拟杆菌属,其可能在发病机制中起作用。
