Vaginal Lactobacillus fatty acid response mechanisms reveal a novel strategy for bacterial vaginosis treatment

M. Zhu, M. W. Frank, C. D. Radka, S. Jeanfavre, M. W. Tse, J. Avila Pacheco, K. Pierce, A. Deik, J. Xhu, S. Hussain, F. A. Hussain, N. Xulu, N. Khan, V. Pillay, K. L. Dong, , D. S. Kwon

This study identifies oleic acid as a compound that inhibits L. iners and promotes L. crispatus growth, offering a potential new treatment strategy for bacterial vaginosis.
