< em > Gardnerella vaginalis < /em > and < em > Neisseria gonorrhoeae < /em > Are Effectively Inhibited by Lactobacilli with Probiotic Properties Isolated from Brazilian Cupua çu ( < em > Theobroma grandiflorum < /em > ) Fruit

This study revealed that cupuaçu is a promising source of microorganisms with probiotic properties against genital pathogens. We demonstrated by in vitro tests that our Lactobacillus strains have probiotic properties. However, the absence of in vivo tests is a limitation of our work due to the need to evaluate the interaction of our lactobacilli with pathogens in the vaginal mucosa. We believe that these findings may be useful in developing a product containing our lactobacilli and their supernatants in order to support with vaginal health.PMID:33997030 | PMC:PMC8102102 | DOI:10.1155/2021/6626249
