Lactobacillus salivarius vulvovaginal colonisation

Lactobacillus salivarius is a probiotic bacteria that is known to have anti-Gardnerella vaginalis effects, which means it could help protect against bacterial vaginosis. Lactobacillus salivarius may also have anti-Candida albicans effects. Lactobacillus salivarius can be a solid contributor to a healthy vaginal ecosystem, helping to reduce inflammation and eradicate pathogens.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections

Streptococcus mutans vulvovaginal infections

S. mutans is most often found in the mouth, causing dental plaque (biofilm) and dental caries.

Helicobacter pylori vulvovaginal infections

Helicobacter pylori is most commonly associated with stomach ulcers, but it can affect other areas of the body like the vagina, urinary tract, and mouth.

Enterococcus faecalis vulvovaginal infection
