Lactobacillus gasseri is one of the heros of your vagina, being a good coloniser, and a hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid producer. Lactobacillus gasseri also produces a bacteriocin, gassericin A. If Lactobacillus gasseri is found as part of your vaginal flora, it is a sign of vaginal health.
Lactobacillus gasseri is used to ferment meats, keeping pathogens out and acting as a beneficial bacteria in the bowel. Not all species are created equal, however, and Lactobacillus gasseri has been rarely found in some types of skin infections.
