Lactobacillus fermentum is a bacteria found harmlessly in sourdough, fermenting foods, and the vulvovaginal area in women (considered probiotic), with some less friendly strains found in dental cavities in the mouth. Lactobacillus fermentum has sometimes been mistaken for what is now known as Lactobacillus reuteri, a well-known and researched vulvovaginal and urinary tract probiotic.
