Lactobacillis and estrogens are essential in vaginal homeostasis. In the present study, we investigated the potential direct effect of 17β-estradiol on a vaginal strain of Lactobacillus cristapus , the major bacterial species of the vaginal microbiota. 17β-estradiol (10 − 6 to 10 − 10 M) has no effect on the growth of L. crispatus but markedly affects its membrane dynamic. This effect appears adaptative and cohere...
