Only amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) was suitable in recognizing different G. vaginalis genotypes. At least 3-4 genotypes were identified with different restriction enzymes, some of which showed a prevalent distribution in certain of the centers from which they were collected. Although in this study no correlation was found between bacterial vaginosis and any of the genotypes identified, the ARDRA method could prove to be a useful tool for studying the etiopathology and epidemiology of G. vaginalis. 3, record 11, English, - amplified%20ribosomal%20DNA%20restriction%20analysis
