Isolation and Characterization of Phage vB_Gva_AB1, a Bacteriophage Infecting a Clinical Strain of Gardnerella vaginalis.

is the presumed causative agent of bacterial vaginosis. Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of phage vB_Gva_AB1, induced from a vaginal bacterial strain from a woman suffering with bacterial vaginosis. The phage double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome is 50,268 bp long with a GC content of 39.

Development and validation of a multiplex qPCR assay for detection and relative quantification of HPV16 and HPV18 E6 and E7 oncogenes.

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) play a key role in promoting human anogenital cancers. Current high-risk HPV screening or diagnosis tests involve cytological or molecular techniques mostly based on qualitative HPV DNA detection. Here, we describe the development of a rapid quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) detection test of HPV16 and HPV18 oncogenes (E6 and E7) normalized on human gene encoding GAPDH.

Two new bacteria isolated from vagina of a patient with vaginosis: sp. nov. and sp. nov.

Two new bacterial strains, Marseille-P4126 (=CSURP4126) and Marseille-P4593 (=CSURP4593), were isolated from the vaginal sample of a French woman with vaginosis. These strains were identified and characterized using the taxonogenomics method. The findings from phylogenetic tree interpretation, phenotypic criteria and genomic analysis provided here distinctly display that sp.

sp. nov. and sp. nov., new bacteria isolated from vagina of French woman with bacterial vaginosis.

Using the culturomics method, two strains were isolated, identified and characterized following the taxonogenomics concept. sp. nov.
