Vaginal pH measured in vivo: lactobacilli determine pH and lactic acid concentration
BACKGROUND: Lactic acid (protonated lactate) has broad antimicrobial activity. Vaginal lactobacilli produce lactic acid, and are known to confer protection against reproductive tract infections when they are predominant in the vaginal microbiota. Using novel ex vivo methods, we showed that cervicova...
