Bacteria responsible for these disturbances are mainly Gardnerella vaginalis, Prevotella spp., Mobiluncus, Mycoplasma hominis.

Trichomoniasis of the urogenital tract is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, which inhabits the vagina, urethra and peri-urethral glands, and is almost exclusively sexually-transmitted.
