Abstract
The principal objective of this study was the characterization of Gardnerella vaginalis by gas chromatography. Thirty-eight isolates and the type strain, ATCC 14018, of G. vaginalis were studied. Hexadecanoic (16:0), octadecenoic (18:1) and octadecanoic (18:0) were the major fatty acids detected. Only insignificant differences between the various isolates could be found. The gas chromatographic analysis of G. vaginalis revealed a characteristic pattern. Gas chromatography in combination with selective growth conditions provides a method for rapid and exact identification.
