This dissertation by Tell Jakobsson explores the complexity of the normal vaginal flora, particularly focusing on the role of Lactobacillus iners and other lactobacilli species. The study highlights the challenges in classifying vaginal flora using traditional culture methods and emphasizes the importance of molecular biology techniques for accurate species identification. Through international collaboration, the research identifies key lactobacilli species, including L. crispatus, L. gasseri, L. jensenii, and L. iners, in healthy women and examines changes in flora during IVF treatment. The findings aim to inform strategies for managing and maintaining a healthy vaginal ecosystem, particularly in the context of bacterial vaginosis. The intended audience includes medical professionals and researchers in microbiology and women's health.
