The vaginal flora in healthy premenopausal women contain predominantly Lactobacillus
species (107‒108 cfu/g fluid), which prevent urogenital tract infection (UTI). Reduction or …

A lactobacillus strain isolated from a vaginal tract of a healthy woman was examined in vitro
for its probiotic potential. This strain, identified as Lactobacillus fermentum SK5, was able to …

A strain of Lactobacillus, identified as Lactobacillus fermentum L23, was selected from
among 100 strains isolated from vaginal swabs of healthy, non-pregnant, pre-menopausal …

The use of probiotics to control certain infections and to reestablish the human bacterial
ecology is gaining acceptance as an alternative to conventional antibiotic therapy. This …

The human vagina is colonized by a variety of microbes. Lactobacilli are the most common,
mainly in healthy women; however, the microbiota composition can change rapidly, leading …

Background Vaginal lactobacilli offer protection against recurrent urinary infections, bacterial
vaginosis, and vaginal candidiasis. Objective To characterise the isolated vaginal …

Lactobacillus iners, first described in 1999, is a prevalent bacterial species of the vaginal
microbiome. As L. iners does not easily grow on de Man-Rogosa-Sharpe agar, but can grow …

The microbiota of the vagina form mostly from ascension of microbes from the rectal area.
The numbers and types of microbes fluctuates with hormone levels, sexual contact …

Lactobacilli in the vaginal tract are essential to protect against microbial infections. We
therefore focused on isolating vaginal lactobacilli from pregnant women and testing their …

The role of Lactobacillus species in the female urogenital tract as a barrier to infection is of
considerable interest. These organisms are believed to contribute to the control of vaginal …
