Candida albicans is a common cause of vulvovaginal yeast infections in women. The following essential oils have been demonstrated to inhibit (not necessarily kill) C. albicans: Anethum graveolens (dill) Artemisia dracunculus (tarragon) Artemisia sieberi (desert wormwood) Citrus aurantifolia (Tahitian lime) Communis hominis Eucalyptus globulus (Tasmanian blue gum) Foeniculum vulgare (fennel) Lavandula stoechas (French lavender) Mentha spicata (spearmint) Pelargonium
Enterococcus faecalis is naturally extremely hardy and highly antibiotic resistant, causing aerobic vaginitis and urinary tract infections.
Escherichia coli is found in most mammals, with most strains harmless (or even probiotic), but others cause food poisoning, urinary tract infections, and vulvovaginal infections.
Atopobium vaginae has a negative effect on vaginal cells, causing inflammation, being highly associated with recurrent bacterial vaginosis, most often found with Gardnerella vaginalis.
Gardnerella vaginalis is a microbe highly correlated with bacterial vaginosis and vaginal dysbiosis. G. vaginalis develops biofilms, which can make it treatment-resistant for long periods of time when using conventional treatments.
