Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, most widely studied as the GG strain, has an extensive research record, though the evidence base in this index is predominantly in vitro and animal-model work.

Lactobacillus gasseri is a species naturally found in the human vaginal and gastrointestinal microbiota, and the papers indexed here reflect a broad species-level literature rather than a single defined strain.

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (formerly Lactobacillus plantarum) is a well-characterized lactic acid bacterium found across fermented foods, the human gut, and diverse environmental niches.

Limosilactobacillus reuteri RC-14 has been studied primarily in the context of urogenital and oral health, often in combination with its companion strain L.

Lactobacillus casei (species-level entry, undesignated strain) is a broadly studied lactic acid bacterium encountered across fermented dairy and non-dairy foods.

Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GR-1 is among the most thoroughly researched probiotic strains for urogenital health, with multiple randomized controlled trials evaluating its oral use in relation to vaginal microbiota comp…
