Cervicovaginal fluid and semen block the microbicidal activity of hydrogen peroxide produced by vaginal lactobacilli

BACKGROUND: H(2)O(2 )produced by vaginal lactobacilli is believed to protect against infection, and H(2)O(2)-producing lactobacilli inactivate pathogens in vitro in protein-free salt solution. However, cervicovaginal fluid (CVF) and semen have significant H(2)O(2)-blocking activity. METHODS: We meas...
