Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) affects 20-50% of reproductive-age female patients annually, arising when opportunistic pathogens outcompete healthy vaginal flora. Many patients fail to resolve symptoms with a course of metronidazole, the current first-line treatment for BV. Our study was designed to identify genomic variation associated with metronidazole resistance among strains of Gardnerella vaginalis...
