Lactobacillus is a genus of gram-positive, aerotolerant anaerobes or microaerophilic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Until 2020, the genus Lactobacillus comprised over 260 phylogenetically, ecologically, and metabolically diverse species; a taxonomic revision of the genus assigned lactobacilli to 25 genera (see § Taxonomy ...
Lactobacillus gasseri is a species in the genus Lactobacillus identified in 1980 by François Gasser and his associates. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] L. gasseri is a normal inhabitant of the intestines and lower reproductive tract in healthy women . [ 3 ]
Lactocillin is a thiopeptide antibiotic which is encoded for and produced by biosynthetic genes clusters in the bacteria Lactobacillus gasseri. Lactocillin was discovered and purified in 2014. [ 1 ] Lactobacillus gasseri is one of the four Lactobacillus bacteria found to be most common in the human vaginal microbiome. [ 2 ]
Lactobacillus jensenii is a lactic acid bacteria species in the genus Lactobacillus. It is one of the four main species of Lactobacillus considered to be the major part of the vaginal flora, along with Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus gasseri, and Lactobacillus iners. [1] [2] L. jensenii is sometimes used in producing fermented foods. [3]
The primary colonizing bacteria of a healthy individual are of the genus Lactobacillus (90–95%), the most common being L. crispatus, L. iners, L. jensenii, and L. gasseri. [5] Since the first description of lactobacilli by Döderlein, lactobacilli have been generally considered the gatekeepers of the vaginal ecosystem.
Popular drinks such as kombucha are made using lactic acid bacteria, with kombucha having been known to have traces of Lactobacillus and Pediococcus once the drink is made. [23] The beer and wine-making process utilizes certain lactic acid bacteria, mostly Lactobacillus. Lactic acid bacteria is used to start the wine-making process by starting ...
Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (ATCC 53103) is a strain of L. rhamnosus that was isolated in 1983 from the intestinal tract of a healthy human being; filed for a patent on 17 April 1985, by Sherwood Gorbach and Barry Goldin, [11] the 'GG' derives from the first letters of their surnames. [12]
Lactobacillus iners is a species in the genus Lactobacillus. It is a Gram-positive, catalase-negative, facultatively anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium. [1] Lactobacillus iners is a normal inhabitant of the lower reproductive tract in healthy women, along with Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus jensenii, and Lactobacillus gasseri. [2]
