Fannyhessea vaginae explained

Fannyhessea vaginae is a species of bacteria in the family Atopobiaceae. It is a facultative anaerobic, Gram-positive rod-shaped or elliptical coccobacillus found as single elements or in pairs or short chains.^[1] It is typically isolated from 80% of women with bacterial vaginosis and it is implicated in treatment failures.^{[2] [3]} Invasive infections such as bacteremia have been reported.^[4]
