Free Glycogen in Vaginal Fluids Is Associated with Lactobacillus Colonization and Low Vaginal pH
OBJECTIVE: Lactobacillus dominates the lower genital tract microbiota of many women, producing a low vaginal pH, and is important for healthy pregnancy outcomes and protection against several sexually transmitted pathogens. Yet, factors that promote Lactobacillus remain poorly understood. We hypothe...
