Detailed Description:

Nine of the vaginal Lactobacillus strains isolated from healthy Swedish women and characterised in the present study were selected for the clinical trial.All women with symptomatic BV fulfilling the inclusion criteria were consecutively offered to participate in a prospective study of adjuvant lactobacilli given in addition to antibiotics. Women included were regularly menstruating women, 18 years or older, with normal gynaecological status, not pregnant or breast-feeding and without signs of other genital tract infections. Exclusion criteria were patients with hormonal IUD without regular menstruation; women infected with Chlamydia trachomatis or with Trichomonas vaginalis, or with a clinical candida infection.
