ANS:GARDENELLA VAGINALIS


Clue cells are epithelial cells of the vagina that get their distinctive stippled appearance by being covered with bacteria.

They are a medical sign of bacterial vaginosis, particularly that caused by Gardnerella vaginalis, a group of Gram-variable bacteria. This bacterial infection gives a foul, fishy smelling, thin gray vaginal discharge. Also the vaginal pH is increased above 5.5. Normal vaginal pH varies around 4.5.
