A non-pathogenic, large, gram-positive bacillus that normally resides in the vagina of healthy adult women. It is also called Döderlein's bacillus. It is a type of lactobacillus and is thought to be the same species as Lactobacillus acidophilus . Vaginal bacillus produces lactic acid, keeps the vagina acidic, and inhibits the growth of pathogenic and other germs that invade the vagina, keeping it clean and healthy. This is called the vagina's self-cleaning function. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
