Effect of 17β-estradiol on a human vaginal Lactobacillus crispatus strain
Abstract Lactobacilli and estrogens play essential roles in vaginal homeostasis. We investigated the potential direct effect of 17β-estradiol on a vaginal strain of Lactobacillus crispatus, the major bacterial species of the vaginal microbiota. 17β-estradiol (10–6 to 10–10 M) had no effect on L. cri...
