Effect of Lcr35 on the viability of Prevotella bivia (a), Gardnerella vaginalis (b), and Candida albicans (c) as a function of the time of coculture. The pathogen was incubated without (filled square) or with (empty squares) Lcr35 at 37°C for 24 hours and the colony forming unit mL⁻¹ was determined after 4, 8, and 24 hours of incubation by plating onto appropriate media. Each value shown is the mean ± SD from three experiments. * : statistically significant differences (P = .050, Mann-Whitney test).
