  • Title: Metabolic properties of lactobacilli in women experiencing recurring episodes of bacterial vaginosis with vaginal pH >or= 5.
    Author: Garg KB, Ganguli I, Kriplani A, Lohiya NK, Thulkar J, Talwar GP.
    Journal: Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis; 2010 Jan; 29(1):123-5. PubMed ID: 19802749.
    Abstract:
    While 60% of women experiencing recurring episodes of bacterial vaginosis (BV) with vaginal pH >or= 5 are depleted of resident probiotic lactobacilli, the remainder carry one or more strains of lactobacilli. Their ability to make D-lactic acid is, however, low (3.94 +/- 0.72 mM/L) compared to the D-lactic acid produced by strains from healthy vagina with vaginal pH approximately 4 (8.04 +/- 1.07 mM/L) culture supernatant of 0.5 McFarland concentration (P < 0.001).
