2Systematische Übersichtn=40 · small study2026

Einfach gesagt: Well-designed longitudinal and site-specific trials are required to clarify the effectiveness of microbiota-targeted interventions in IVF/ICSI.

Ma G, Zeng R, Cai R, He B, Han J, Gao R, Qin L. · BMC pregnancy and childbirth (2026)

Longer-term or individualized probiotic regimens appeared to increase Lactobacillus abundance and were associated with improved reproductive outcomes, whereas short-term interventions demonstrated minimal benefit.
Conclusion Species-level and site-specific reproductive tract microbiota profiles appear to better predict assisted reproductive technology outcomes than diversity measures alone.
Personalized or longer-duration probiotic strategies may hold therapeutic potential; however, current evidence remains limited and heterogeneous.

3Übersichtn=616 · large study2026

Einfach gesagt: Intravaginal administration appears to offer the greatest clinical benefit and could be a valuable non-antibiotic alternative for reducing the pressure for antimicrobial resistance.

Yauri-Idelfonso M, Picón-Rafaelo C, Rosales-Goñe P, Pulido-Capurro V, Acevedo-Flores J, Gómez-Gonzales W, Arteaga-Livias K. · Journal of global antimicrobial resistance (2026)

The most precise effect estimate available was a relative risk of 0.50 (95% CI: 0.20-1.20) for intravaginal Lactobacillus crispatus, with a recurrence rate of 15% versus 27% in the placebo group.
Intravaginal administration showed a consistent trend toward greater clinical benefit across all studies, associated with effective vaginal recolonisation.
No serious adverse events were reported.

Einfach gesagt: Its most plausible near-term role is in multiparameter risk or response models, pending standardized prospective validation.

Markowska A, Wolski H, de Mezer M. · International journal of molecular sciences (2026)

Low-biomass samples, such as those from the ovary or endometrium, are highly susceptible to technical contamination.
Most studies are cross-sectional and cannot establish causality.
Current evidence supports microbiota as a modifier, not a standalone marker or a substitute for standard diagnosis and treatment.

5RCTn=45 · small study2025

Einfach gesagt: The strain can establish dominance in a new setting — 41% versus 0% — but the effect was transient and no clinical outcome improved.

L. crispatus-dominant vaginal microbiomes at week 4: 13/32 (41%) with LACTIN-V vs 0/13 on placebo (p=0.0088)
By week 8 dominance had fallen to 8/31 (26%) vs 1/11 (9%) on placebo (p=0.40) — the effect was transient
Activated endocervical HIV target cells rose in the placebo group but not the LACTIN-V group (p=0.016); no HIV infections were an endpoint

Reznichenko H et al. · Journal of lower genital tract disease (2020)

Recurrence of BV was documented in 15 (18.3%) of 82 women in the verum group and 27 (32.1%) of 84 in the placebo group (p = .014).

7n=126 · medium study2025

Einfach gesagt: Conclusions This randomised trial will investigate ability of an oral probiotic containing L. crispatus to increase its abundance in the vaginal microbiome, both directly by horizontal transfer and indirectly via microbiome and metabolome of the gut.

Corbett GA, Corcoran S, Feehily C, Soldati B, Rafferty A, MacIntyre DA, Cotter PD, McAuliffe FM. · Contemporary clinical trials (2025)

A total of 126 women are required to detect a 25 % increase in detectable L. crispatus.
Results The primary outcome is detectable L. crispatus in the vaginal microbiome after twelve weeks of treatment, measured using high-throughput DNA sequencing.
Secondary outcomes include impact of intervention on the gut microbiome and metabolome, rate of sPTB and mid-trimester loss, neonatal outcomes and maternal morbidity.

8n=35 · small study2021

Einfach gesagt: Despite the limitations of our study, it is the first demonstration that it is possible to intervene orally with an L. crispatus probiotic to bring about a change in CST status and, in parallel, increased HPV clearance.

DI Pierro F et al. · Minerva obstetrics and gynecology (2021)

After 90 days of oral treatment with a probiotic (L. crispatus M247) we observed a reduction of approximately 70% in HPV positivity and a significant change in CST status with 94% of women now classified as CST I.
Despite the limitations of our study, it is the first demonstration that it is possible to intervene orally with an L. crispatus probiotic to bring about a change in CST status and, in parallel, increased HPV clearance.

Einfach gesagt: A post hoc analysis of the phase 2b trial showing the benefit exists only where the antibiotic had already cleared the infection.

Hemmerling A et al. · Sex Transm Dis (2024)

This is a POST HOC analysis of the already-completed phase 2b LACTIN-V trial, not a new trial
Among women with clinical BV cure after metronidazole (88% of participants): risk ratio for recurrence by 12 weeks 0.56 (95% CI 0.35-0.77)
Among women WITHOUT post-antibiotic clinical cure: risk ratio 1.34 (95% CI 0.47-2.23) — no benefit

Stapleton AE et al. · Clin Infect Dis (2011)

Recurrent UTI in 7/48 (15%) receiving Lactin-V vs 13/48 (27%) on placebo; relative risk 0.5 (95% CI 0.2-1.2) — NOT statistically significant
High-level vaginal colonisation throughout follow-up was associated with reduced recurrence only in the Lactin-V arm (RR 0.07 vs 1.1 for placebo, P<0.01) — a within-arm association, not a randomised comparison

12RCTn=90 · small study2009

Einfach gesagt: Colonisation is fragile: intercourse and a woman's own existing L. crispatus both defeat it.

Antonio MA et al. · J Infect Dis (2009)

Of 40 participants lacking L. crispatus at enrolment, 36 (90%) were colonised by CTV-05 at one or more follow-up visits
Of 47 already colonised with L. crispatus at enrolment, only 24 (51%) were positive for CTV-05 at follow-up (P<0.001)
