Overview

  • Gardnerella leopoldii is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, coccobacillus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 41.9-43.2%. Gardnerella leopoldii is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Vaneechoutte2019)



  • This organism has been recovered from human vagina, Belgium. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
