TLDR
The role of this specific strain as a potential empirical preventive agent for reducing vaginal discomfort after conventional treatment of acute VVC and shifting the vaginal milieu toward a predominance of lactobacilli with an improvement of the vaginal pH value is confirmed.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Lactobacillus species as biomarkers and agents that can promote various aspects of vaginal health.
Mariya I. Petrova,Mariya I. Petrova,Elke Lievens,Elke Lievens,Shweta Malik,Shweta Malik,Nicole C. E. Imholz,Nicole C. E. Imholz,Sarah Lebeer,Sarah Lebeer +9 more
TL;DR: The widely documented beneficial role of vaginal Lactobacillus species demonstrates the potential of data on the composition and activity of lactobacilli as biomarkers for vaginal health, and the substantiation and further validation of such biomarkers will allow the design of better targeted probiotic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of lactic acid production by probiotic Lactobacillus species in vaginal health.
TL;DR: The antimicrobial, antiviral and immunomodulatory properties of lactic acid and the use of lact acid and lactobacilli probiotics in preventing or treating bacterial vaginosis are reviewed.

TL;DR: Great care is required in the choice of the proper Lactobacilli species, their genetic stability and the translocation risk, mainly related to inflammatory disease-induced gut mucosa enhanced permeability, and the adequate amount of bacteria to be delivered in order to achieve the best clinical efficacy decreasing the risk of side effects.

TL;DR: The results are prerequisites for the development of new therapeutic agents based on probiotics for prophylaxis and adjuvant therapy of Candida infection, as their effects were mediated by both cells and supernatants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vulvovaginal Candidiasis: A Current Understanding and Burning Questions.
TL;DR: The current state of the understanding of the epidemiology, host response, fungal pathogenicity mechanisms, impact of the microbiome, and novel approaches to treatment of this most prevalent human candidal infection are covered.

Journal ArticleDOI
An amino acid liquid synthetic medium for the development of mycelial and yeast forms of Candida Albicans
TL;DR: This medium has proved successful in maintaining the growth characteristics of both phases of Candida albicans during serial transfers and the relative pathogenicity, virulence, invasiveness and immunogenicity of the yeast and mycelial phases are discussed.

Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis and Candida tropicalis: biology, epidemiology, pathogenicity and antifungal resistance
Sónia Carina Silva,Melyssa Negri,Mariana Henriques,Rosário Oliveira,David Wynne Williams,Joana Azeredo +5 more
TL;DR: Information is provided on the current state of knowledge on the biology, identification, epidemiology, pathogenicity and antifungal resistance of C. glabrata, C. parapsilosis and C. tropicalis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of initial adhesion of uropathogenic Enterococcus faecalis by biosurfactants from Lactobacillus isolates.
TL;DR: In this study, 15 Lactobacillus isolates found to produce biosurfactants in the mid-exponential and stationary growth phases were investigated further to determine their capacity to inhibit the initial adhesion of uropathogenic Enterococcus faecalis 1131 to glass in a parallel-plate flow chamber.
Journal ArticleDOI
The metabolic basis of Candida albicans morphogenesis and quorum sensing
TL;DR: The metabolic basis of C. albicans morphogenesis is reviewed and the role of primary metabolic pathways and quorum sensing molecules in the morphogenetic process is discussed, highlighting the metabolic pathways associated with the dimorphic transition and virulence.

TL;DR: Five days of vaginal administration of LN strains after conventional treatment of bacterial vaginosis and/or vulvovaginal candidiasis lead to vaginal colonization, somewhat fewer recurrences and less malodorous discharge.
