Antimicrobial Effects of Sophora flavescens Alkaloids on Metronidazole-Resistant Gardnerella vaginalis in Planktonic and Biofilm Conditions.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common infection caused by anaerobic bacteria. Metronidazole resistance is increasing, but sophora flavescens alkaloids (SFA) can inhibit growth and eliminate biofilms of metronidazole-resistant bacteria. SFAs may help prevent BV recurrence.
