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.[ 2] It is typically isolated from 80% of women with bacterial vaginosis and it is implicated in treatment failures.[ 3] [ 4] Invasive infections such as bacteremia have been reported.[ 5]
