Pooled median Gardnerella counts increased significantly 5 days before bacterial vaginosis diagnosis.
Eighteen women developed incident bacterial vaginosis during the study with matching controls for comparison.
Biofilm formation was assessed using peptide nucleic acid-fluorescence in situ hybridization over a 60-day period.
Findings highlight Gardnerella spp. as early colonizers, suggesting targeted interventions may be beneficial.
