Abstract

SUMMARY Thirty-two strains of lactobacilli were isolated from the healthy vaginas of pregnant women and 10 strains from the vaginas of pregnant women with a vaginal discharge due to candida infection. Of these 42 strains, 11 were Lactobacillus acidophilus, 2 were L. brevis, 6 were L. casei, 12 were L. fermentum, 1 was L. lactis, 5 were L. leichmannii, and 5 were L. salivarius. Whereas only 1 strain of L. acidophilus split oyster glycogen, human vaginal glycogen was split by 2 wild strains and 2 laboratory strains of L. acidophilus, 1 laboratory strain of L. leichmannii and 1 wild strain of L. salivarius.
