The bacterial communities of the vaginal microbiota can be broadly divided into two iterations - Lactobacillus -dominant, low-diversity communities or Lactobacillus-low, high-diversity communities.
In humans, four main vaginal Lactobacillus species occur: Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus jensenii, Lactobacillus gasseri, and Lactobacillus iners. Loss of [lactic acid](brain://5BxLNCRwikqY2E…
