  • [1.1] [#Vaginal microbiota] [#Candida albicans
    - #Lactobacillus spp. produces lactic and other organic acids that contribute to the low pH within the vaginal cavity. - Low pH (< 4.5) inhibits C. albicans yeast-to-hypha transition.
  • - Inflammation furthermore depends on proteases and the toxin #Candidalysin, which not only mediates damage but also directly induces inflammasome-dependent responses of vaginal epithelial cells.
