Evaluation of probiotic and vaginal Lactobacillus species for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis and promotion of vaginal health in South African women
Background: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) increases women's risk for adverse reproductive outcomes and acquisition of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. The etiology of BV is still unclear, and it has been hypothesized that lytic or temperate Lactobacillus bacteriophages may contribut...
