Since we previously reported that women infected with chlamydia had a significant overall
reduction in Lactobacillus in the vagina microbiota as compared to those uninfected …

Lactobacillus species dominate the microbiome in the lower genital tract of most
reproductive-age women. Producing lactic acid and H2O2, lactobacilli are believed to play …

Increasing evidence indicates that abnormal vaginal flora lacking lactobacilli facilitates the
acquisition of several sexually transmitted diseases including Chlamydia trachomatis. C …

Lactobacilli play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of the vaginal niche,
preventing the colonization of exogenous microorganisms. Although many studies have …

Lactobacillus species dominate the vaginal microbiota of healthy reproductive-age women
and protect the genitourinary tract from the attack of several infectious agents. Chlamydia …

In the cervicovaginal microenvironment, lactobacilli are known to protect against genital
infections and, amongst the host defence compounds, lactoferrin has recently acquired …

Lactobacillus species, which dominate vaginal microbiota of healthy reproductive-age
women, lower the risks of sexually transmitted infections, including the risk of human …

Introduction This prospective study aimed to study the composition and structure of the
vaginal microbiota prior to Chlamydia trachomatis infection. Methods A nested case–control …

The mechanism (s) by which Lactobacillus-dominated cervicovaginal microbiota provide a
barrier to Chlamydia trachomatis infection remain (s) unknown. Here we evaluate the impact …

Although Lactobacillus crispatus–dominated vaginal microbiotas are thought to protect
against bacterial vaginosis (BV) and sexually transmitted infections, the role of Lactobacillus …
