Case Report: A clinically relevant isolation of Gardnerella leopoldii guided by morphological and molecular evidence from a urinary tract infection case
This case represents the first documented isolation of clinically relevant <i>G. leopoldii</i>, guided by morphological and molecular evidence from a clinical urine sample. It highlights the potential of mNGS as a promising tool for identifying previously unrecognized species and offers valuable insights to enhance the understanding of clinically relevant microorganisms.
