Introduction | Lactobacillus species are normal flora of the human mouth, gastrointestinal tract, and female genital tract, where they produce lactic acid and competitively inhibit pathogenic organisms. Lactobacillus are small, slender, nonmotile, Gram-positive bacilli in chains. Immature colonies appear smooth, convex, and translucent. Some species of Lactobacillus used commonly as probiotics. They are most commonly used for diarrhea, including infectious diarrhea and diarrhea in people taking antibiotics. Some people also use lactobacillus for general digestion problems, irritable bowel syndrome; IBS, colic in infants, and many other conditions that involve the stomach and bowel. |
Alternative Names | Lactobacillus jensenii; 35573 |
Lactobacillus jensenii is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, and anaerobic bacterium isolated from the human vaginal microbiota. It plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy vaginal environment by producing lactic acid, which lowers pH and inhibits pathogen growth. The specific strain 35573 is provided for research purposes and is not intended for therapeutic use.
Research shows that Lactobacillus jensenii helps maintain vaginal health by inhibiting pathogenic bacteria, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Studies suggest that the bacteria's ability to produce lactic acid and other bioactive compounds creates a protective environment against pathogens. This strain is frequently used in microbiome studies to explore its protective effects and potential therapeutic applications.
In microbiome research, Lactobacillus jensenii serves as an important model for studying the interactions between beneficial bacteria and the host's immune system. It has been shown to modulate immune responses and maintain microbial balance in the vaginal ecosystem. Researchers frequently utilize this strain to investigate its role in immune regulation, pathogen inhibition, and overall microbiome stability.
Lactobacillus jensenii grows optimally in anaerobic conditions on chocolate agar. It forms circular, translucent colonies and requires careful monitoring of environmental conditions such as pH and oxygen levels for successful cultivation. Research applications may involve testing its interactions with host cells or other microbial species under controlled conditions.
This strain has been used in various fields, including reproductive health research and microbiome modulation. It is particularly valuable in studies exploring microbial therapies, such as genetically engineered Lactobacillus strains that produce antiviral agents. For example, genetically modified L. jensenii has been used to inhibit HIV-1, making it an exciting candidate for developing novel therapeutic approaches.
