Adherence of Lactobacillus crispatus to Vaginal Epithelial Cells From Women With or Without a History of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection

L. crispatus strain CTV-05 is highly adherent to vaginal epithelial cells collected from a large sample of premenopausal women with or without a history of recent recurrent urinary tract infection. These data strongly support further evaluation of this probiotic in clinical trials of women with recurrent urinary tract infection.
