Lactobacillus Jensenii

Lactobacillus jensenii defines Community State Type V (CST-V) in the vaginal microbiome. It produces hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid, contributing to vaginal defense against pathogens, though less dominant than lactobacillus crispatus (CST-I).

Associations

  • HPV: Part of vaginal microbiome in cervical cancer/HPV mega-analysis [1].
  • PCOS: Vaginal microbiome context [2].
  • Preterm birth: Vaginal metabolomic associations [3].
  • Seminal microbiome: Present in male reproductive tract [4].
  • FMT: Component of reproductive tract FMT protocols [5].
