Gardnerella or Gardnerella Vaginalis is an infection in the vagina caused by bacteria of the Gardnerella Vaginalis strain, often in combination with various anaerobic bacteria. This bacterial strain, "Gardnerella Vaginalis" is also the cause of "bacterial vaginosis" or "BV."
A vaginal infection caused by Gardnerella often produces a gray or yellow discharge with a "fishy" vaginal odor that increases after washing the vulvovaginal area with alkaline soaps.
