Declarations
:
: The Gardnerella vaginalis spp. isolates included in this study were made available from the biorepository of one of the authors of this study (SLH) at the University of Pittsburgh and Magee-Women’s Research Institute. The bacterial isolates were obtained from individuals enrolled in nine different clinical trials or observational cohort studies. All participants provided written informed consent prior to the collection of their samples and provided future use consent for use of their samples or sample remnants. The use of bacterial isolates in the present study does not constitute human subjects research because neither the repository holder nor the recipient of the isolates can link the isolates to any identifiable living individual. All links between the study participants, the bacterial isolates derived from their samples and their personal identifiers have been destroyed.
: Not applicable.
: Authors KAI, JPE, and GDE have filed for a patent on the molecular diagnostic/primer sequences noted in the study. The remaining authors declare that they have no competing interests.
