An in vitro assessment of the effects of broad-spectrum antibiotics on the human gut microflora and concomitant isolation of a Lactobacillus plantarum with anti-Candida activities.
We investigated how certain antibiotics affect the gut microflora, specifically focusing on Lactobacillus plantarum and its potential against Candida albicans, the yeast responsible for thrush. Our study revealed that broad-spectrum antibiotics like tetracycline had adverse effects on many beneficial gut bacteria, while inadvertently increasing yeast populations.
However, we found a resistant strain of Lactobacillus that thrived despite antibiotic presence and demonstrated strong anti-Candida properties. This suggests that Lactobacillus plantarum might be a promising probiotic for managing yeast-related disorders like thrush.

Treatment for recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (thrush).
We examined the effectiveness of various treatments for recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (thrush), focusing on both pharmacological and non-pharmacological options. Our review included 23 studies with 2,212 women and found that antifungal treatments could reduce clinical recurrences significantly compared to placebo. However, we discovered no significant benefit from Lactobacillus treatments specifically. Additionally, the study presents high risk of bias, and many reported data were of low quality. More well-structured research is needed to nail down the best treatment options for this condition.

This helps! I was pleasantly surprised; just a couple of days after starting, my thrush nearly disappeared! I have tried many remedies, including probiotics, but none have worked this quickly. I take it during pregnancy and highly recommend it to anyone who suffers like I do!
