Hydrogen-peroxide producing lactobacilli are associated with lower levels of vaginal IL1β, independent of bacterial vaginosis

BACKGROUND: The presence of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-producing lactobacilli in the vagina is associated with decreased rates of preterm birth and HIV acquisition. We hypothesize that this is due to immunomodulatory effects of these species. METHODS: Concentrations of IL1β, IL6, IL8, secretory le...
