Gardnerella vaginalis triggers NLRP3 inflammasome recruitment in THP-1 monocytes
2014, Journal of Reproductive ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :The pathogenic impact of G. vaginalis has been the subject of debate for nearly 40 years, with observations that both implicate and absolve it in multiple roles of pathogeenesis (Catlin, 1992; Swidsinski et al., 2008). The involvement of G. vaginalis has been questioned partly because its presence, in some studies, seems independent of disease state (Mikamo et al., 2000; Buhimschi et al., 2005). Here, we have shown that G. vaginalis can induce highly inflammatory conditions over a 24-h period, including pyroptotic cell death and the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-1β, at levels comparable to those observed in BV (Zaga-Clavellina et al., 2012).
Probiotics for the treatment of women with bacterial vaginosis
2007, Clinical Microbiology and InfectionCitation Excerpt :Thus, Zariffard et al. [18] analysed the cervicovaginal lavage samples of 21 human immunodeficiency virus-positive women by real-time PCR, and found that the median number of lactobacilli was significantly lower and the median number of G. vaginalis organisms was significantly higher in five women with BV, compared with 16 women without BV (8.5 × 106 vs. 1.1 × 109, p 0.013, and 1.3 × 1010 vs. 5.4 × 107, p 0.004, respectively). Mikamo et al. [19] also found that the mean count of Lactobacillus spp. was significantly lower in 129 G. vaginalis-positive women than in 110 G. vaginalis-negative women (7.02 vs. 8.66 log10 CFU/g, p <0.0001). It has been suggested that H2O2-producing vaginal lactobacilli may prevent infection of the vaginal epithelium by bacteria that cause BV.
