The prevalence of Gardnerella vaginalis in the urethra of 430 men attending a clinic for sexually transmitted disease was 11·4%; it was significantly higher in heterosexuals (14·5%) than in homosexuals (4·5%). There was no evidence of rectal or subpreputial carriage of G vaginalis, and urethral carriage was not associated with symptoms of urethritis.
在一家性传播疾病诊所就诊的430名男性中,阴道加德纳菌在尿道中的感染率为11.4%;异性恋者(14.5%)的感染率显著高于同性恋者(4.5%)。没有证据表明阴道加德纳菌存在于直肠或包皮下,尿道携带该菌与尿道炎症状无关。
