Gene expression patterns of the female genital tract and immunomodulation by Lactobacillus species
Inflammation in the female genital tract (FGT) is associated with increased HIV-1 viral replication, HIV-1 transmission and HIV-1 acquisition. The optimal commensal Lactobacillus bacterial species is associated with reduced inflammation in the FGT and dampened immune responses to non-optimal bacteri...
