The proposal to restore vaginal microbiota using biotherapeutic agents ended with controversial results. Vaginal microbiota modifications from eubiosis to
dysbiosis (desquamative inflammatory
vaginitis, "aerobic
vaginitis") and pathobiosis have recently been demonstrated to have a pivotal role in women's clinical health.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) and its related women's pathology seem to be "the most common vaginal
infections" in women; the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommended treatment for this pathology:
metronidazole, clyndamicin or other well known treatment such as
dequalinium chloride, unfortunately, has been demonstrated to fail in control of this
infection and especially in its recurrence rates. A long-lasting vaginal approach with a symbiotic drug (Lactobacillus rhamnosus BMX 54 +
lactose) (NORMOGIN™) has demonstrated on a large sample of women enrolled in clinical trials (more than 3000 patients) not only to be able to significantly reduce the BV recurrences, after the CDC standard of care administration, but also to control the vaginal pathobiosis pathway, restoring the physiological eubiosis from
dysbiosis. These results are really very encouraging and clearly demonstrate that a symbiotic long-lasting vaginal application of a selected Lactobacillus population plus a
prebiotic could be helpful if added to the recommended standard of care.
