Gardnerella vaginalis is a predominant anaerobic bacterium responsible for causing bacterial vaginosis (BV) in women. Although G vaginalis is a natural component of the normal vaginal flora, an excessive proliferation of this bacterium can lead to BV, the primary cause of abnormal vaginal discharge or vaginitis. Gardnerella infection poses distinctive challenges due to its far-reaching implications on women’s reproductive health, susceptibility to sexually transmitted diseases, and potential to give rise to complications during pregnancy. This activity comprehensively reviews the evaluation and treatment of BV caused by an overgrowth of G vaginalis. Furthermore, this activity elucidates the crucial role of the interprofessional team in effectively treating patients afflicted by this condition.
