The healthy cervicovaginal microbiota is dominated by various Lactobacillus species, which support a condition of eubiosis. Among their many functions, vaginal lactobacilli contribute to the maintenance an acidic pH, produce antimicrobial compounds, and modulate host immune response protect against bacterial fungal infections. Increasing evidence suggests that these beneficial bacteria may also confer protection sexually transmitted infections (STIs) caused viruses such as human papillomavirus (HPV), immunodeficiency virus (HIV) herpes simplex (HSV). Viral STIs pose substantial public health burden globally, causing range infectious diseases with potentially severe consequences. Understanding molecular mechanisms exert protective effects viral paramount for development novel preventive therapeutic strategies. This review aims provide more recent insights into intricate interactions between STIs, exploring impact on microenvironment, response, infectivity pathogenesis, highlighting potential implications interventions clinical management

Microbiomes have been linked to oncogenesis, e.g. the intestinal microbiome and colon cancer or HPV-associated cervical cancer. A connection between microbiomes of different body cavities tumor oncogenesis was shown. The gut microbiome's influence on bladder established, raising question whether nearby (rectum, vagina) also due their proximity. Considering various broader microbial components, this systematic review aims investigate differences in bladder, vaginal, microbiota-including bacterial, viral, fungal archaea-between patients with healthy controls. Databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase) were searched until April 2022. Three types studies included: "(1) using control groups (case-controlled studies) (2) that provided information presence abundance taxa (3) increased decreased and/or groups.". Risk bias assessed Newcastle Ottawa Scale. Fourteen (695 samples: 403 cancer, 292 controls) analyzed. Bacterial detected at least two studies, genera Geobacillus Rubrobacter more frequently patients; while Streptococcus Roseomonas prevalent No consistent identified across stool tissue samples. microbiota show significant variation studies. Standardized methods expanded investigations into viral components are needed clarify role

Background The increasing incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) over the last two decades has prompted need to create new types therapeutic interventions. gut microbiome emerged as a key component in prognosis and pathophysiology IBDs. alteration or dysbiosis been shown exacerbate bacterial composition can be modulated through usage probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics. These interventions induce growth beneficial bacteria. Additionally, these could used maintain homeostasis, reduce inflammation seen morbidities, strengthen epithelial barrier. Methods literature review was conducted October 2024 using PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar screening for recent clinical trials addition reviews relevant topic. Aims This aims summarize synbiotics IBD patients highlighting their potential benefits alleviating symptoms enhancing quality life. Conclusion Certain probiotic formulations such single strain ones consisting Lactobacillus, mixed-strain combinations Lactobacillus Bifidobacterium , prebiotic compounds fructooligosaccharides, synbiotic both have proven effective improving clinical, immunological, symptomatic aspects disease course. While promising, findings remain inconclusive due inconsistent study designs, small sample sizes, varying patient responses. emphasizes larger, well-controlled determine efficacy.

Abstract Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. Commonly used probiotics humans belong to genera Bifidobacterium , Lactobacillus Bacillus Streptococcus and Saccharomyces available as single agents or combination. They have been for treatment of several conditions, but data regarding their efficacy often inadequate. There is some evidence use bacterial infections. The objective this narrative review present status prevention infections, along with possible mechanisms action adverse effects related use. Information was obtained through literature search PubMed-indexed articles over past 11 years Google search. Based our findings, we concluded that may be more useful recurrent infections such Clostridioides difficile infection caused by antibiotics rather than treating This could provide insights guidance physicians appropriate
