Abstract
Gardnerella vaginalis is the presumed causative agent of bacterial vaginosis. Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of Gardnerella phage vB_Gva_AB1, induced from a vaginal bacterial strain from a woman suffering with bacterial vaginosis. The phage double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome is 50,268 bp long with a GC content of 39.55% and contains 62 predicted open reading frames.

Gardnerella vaginalis is the presumed causative agent of bacterial vaginosis
The genome of Gardnerella vaginalis strains contains a multitude of prophage sequences [11], but so far, none have been isolated
Gardnerella vaginalis strain CSUR P680, isolated from a vaginal swab of a French woman suffering from bacterial vaginosis (BV) (IHU Méditerranée Infection, Marseille, France), was used to induce prophages
