[Evaluation of different liquid media for the culture of Gardnerella vaginalis and characterization of the protein profile with PAGE-SDS electrophoresis].

3 liquid culture media: triptose soya broth supplemented with equine serum (TSB-es)/without supplement (TSB) and Casman broth (CB) were evaluated under different incubation conditions at 10% of CO2 and under aerobic conditions. There were no significant differences in the values of optic density for the TSB-es and CB media. However, on establishing the protein profile by PAGE-SDS for the evaluated conditions, the presence of protein of 14 kDa and the values of optic density allowed the selection of the CB medium for the culture of Gardnerella vaginalis.
