“…Intravaginally administered L. reuteri have reduced physiological index, vaginal bacterial burden, and histopathological changes in vaginal tissues in E. faecalis infected mice. The probiotic L. reuteri can increase the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokines Foxp3, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and reduce overexpression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β caused by E. faecalis infection ( Shazadi et al., 2021 ; Shazadi et al., 2022 ). Similarly, lactobacilli also have a protective effect against E. coli infection.…”

The vaginal microbiome is a distinct component of the human microbiome that is colonized by a wide variety of microorganisms. Lactobacilli are the most frequently identified microorganisms in the healthy human vagina. These Gram-positive bacilli can acidify the vaginal microenvironment, inhibit the proliferation of other pathogenic microorganisms, and promote the maintenance of a eubiotic vaginal microbiome. However, a vaginal flora with a reduced proportion or abundance of lactobacilli is associated with various vaginal infections that have been linked to serious health consequences such as infertility, preterm birth, pelvic inflammatory disease, premature rupture of membranes, and miscarriage. Due to their “Generally Recognized as Safe” classification and critical role in vaginal health, probiotic lactobacilli have been widely used as an alternative or adjunct to traditional antibiotic therapy for the treatment of vaginal infections and restoration of the vaginal microbiome. This review focuses on the significant role of probiotic lactobacilli in the vaginal microenvironment and discusses the use of probiotic lactobacilli in the treatment of female vaginal infections in vitro and in vivo.

The revolutionary development of green technology, such as ultrasound-assisted extraction, has had a significant impact on the extraction methods of natural compounds with pharmacological potential. These methods are considered green because they are environmentally friendly, minimizing the use of toxic solvents, energy consumption, and CO2 generation. Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health problem. Pathogens of dermatological and nosocomial relevance are more frequent because they are resistant to antimicrobials. Agave nuusaviorum leaves are used in traditional medicine to treat onychomycosis and inflammatory processes. Here, the antimicrobial activity of hydroethanolic extract of A. nuusaviorum leaves obtained by ultrasound-assisted extraction was evaluated. The antimicrobial activity was tested against 14 pathogens with dermatological and nosocomial relevance by the agar diffusion technique. The extract exhibited an antimicrobial effect on all microorganisms tested, showing inhibition zones of 9–16 mm for Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis, and eleven isolates of Trichophyton. The extract’s minimum inhibitory concentration ranged between 0.5 mg/mL for Staphylococcus aureus, 0.25–1 mg/mL for yeast, and 0.4–1.25 mg/mL for molds. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of terpenes, phenolic acids, tannins, carbohydrates, and steroids in the extract. The results showed that A. nuusaviorum leaves have broad-spectrum antimicrobial potential.
