Whole genome sequence of Gardnerella vaginalis isolate from blood cultures of a woman with with severe acute encephalopathy. Gardnerella vaginalis strain:GV37 | isolate:GV37

The female patient experienced an episode of acute toxic-type encephalopathy associated with a concomitant Gardnerella vaginalis bacteremia, which was preceded by abnormal vaginal discharge. G.vaginalis was isolated from blood cultures of the patient. The isolate was susceptible to amoxicillin and amoxicillin clavuanate, therefore encephalopathy quickly resolved after initiation of adequate antibiotic treatment. The complete genome sequence of this highly virulent G.vaginalis isolate was performed.
