Evaluation of probiotic and vaginal Lactobacillus species for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis and promotion of vaginal health in South African women by Happel, Anna-Ursula

“…Aims: The specific aims of this dissertation were (1) to survey the South African probiotic market and evaluate locally available products marketed explicitly for vaginal health in vitro, (2) to determine the efficacy of the most promising local overthe- counter (OTC) probiotic for vaginal health for BV treatment in South African women in a pilot randomized clinical trial that is approved by the regulatory authorities in South Africa, in order to explore the local regulatory landscape for future trials; (3) to screen and thoroughly characterize vaginal Lactobacillus strains isolated from healthy South African women in vitro for the development of a geographically-specific probiotic for vaginal health; and (4) to evaluate the role of bacteriophages in the etiology of BV and Lactobacillus spp. survival in vitro. …”
