“…In most instances, classic biochemical or phenotypic tests were used to identify lactobacilli found before and after product use (12,36). Because of the lack of specificity of these phenotypic tests, genotypic techniques are now more frequently used, even for identification to the species level (4,16).…”

“…Studies evaluating the efficacy of some probiotic products containing lactobacilli remain inconclusive because the strain identification techniques have been inadequate, relying on classic phenotypic identification methods, such as sugar fermentation, to distinguish lactobacilli isolated before and after product use (7,36). In one study, efficacy was revealed by comparing the clinical cure rate for BV in a group using the Lactobacillus product to that in a placebo group (12), while in another study, Nugent scoring for BV Gram staining was used to assess the outcomes for the treatment groups (32).…”

“…Reid and Bocking (2003) showed that oral or vaginal administration of certain lactobacilli strains can safely colonise the vagina, displace and kill pathogens including Escherichia coli, and modulate the immune responses. Oral formulations of lactobacilli intended for use in genitourinary infections have been shown to be capable of maintaining their structural integrity during passage through the gut, or when delivered to the rectal area can colonise the vaginal tract (Shalev et al 1996;. As another example, normalisation of the urogenital tract in females was observed 14 days after oral administration of lactobacilli (Morelli et al 2004).…”

“…Установлено, что способность лактобацилл к формированию биопленок зависит от свойств штам-ма, его концентрации, а также физико-химических свойств среды [12,13]. Более двух десятилетий назад выявили, что лактобациллы прямой кишки являют-ся источником колонизации влагалища [14], и этот факт был подтвержден более поздними исследова-ниями [15,16]. Конечно, способность к перемеще-нию из прямой кишки присуща не только отдельным штаммам лактобацилл, но и другим микроорганиз-мам желудочно-кишечного тракта, имеющим специ-фический вагинальный тропизм [17].…”
