  • Increased Abundance of Lactobacillus Crispatus

  • High evidence

  Women with vaginal microbiota dominated by L. iners who consume milk and/or dairy present increased abundances of L. crispatus . Therefore, they could benefit from L. crispatus protective properties conferring greater temporal microbiota stability and, consequently, increased protection against infections.
