HBT

The link HBT agar doesn't work. I found a disambiguation page HBT, which points toward a preferable HBT (agar) but this doesn't exist either. Situation will need to be looked at again in future. Emble64 (talk) 12:06, 15 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

what is the cause of gardnerella? Ă

Old vs New Name

edit

The page shows, "Once classified as a species of Haemophilus". I was under the impression that it still is a species of Haemophilus and that the name Gardnerella vaginalis was an older term used mostly by clinicians while Haemophilus vaginalis was a more current term used by microbiologists.

WRONG. But then again, the whole damn page is pretty ridiculously bad, and has to be rewritten by an expert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.130.213.57 (talk) 04:23, 15 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

There is a contradiction here. "G. vaginalis is not considered the cause of the bacterial vaginosis, but a signal organism of the altered microbial ecology associated with overgrowth of many bacterial species." is followed by: "G. vaginalis is the predominant cause of bacterial vaginosis" under symptoms.

Species

edit

"A genus of Gram-variable-staining facultative anaerobic bacteria of which Gardnerella vaginalis is the only species" is no longer true. The genus has been broken up into several different species.
