Ribosomal RNA from Atopobium vaginae

Molecular classification
Other (Ribosomal RNA, not a protein receptor, enzyme, transporter, etc.)
01

Overview

Ribosomal RNA from Atopobium vaginae most commonly refers to the 16S ribosomal RNA gene and its transcript, which are essential components of the bacterial ribosome. The 16S rRNA gene is highly conserved and used extensively in microbiological research and diagnostics for species identification. In clinical contexts, detection of A. vaginae 16S rRNA is used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis and can be associated with reproductive health complications including increased risk of miscarriage. While the ribosome as a whole can be a drug target via certain classes of antibiotics, the ribosomal RNA from A. vaginae is typically not considered a direct therapeutic target, but rather a diagnostic marker.
