Studies have found that probiotic therapies containing Lactobacilli strongly inhibit the growth of GBS by increasing the acidity of the environment and that they may be effective in returning the vaginal flora microbiome to a healthy normal state.

What probiotic is good for GBS?

Two probiotic strains have been identified as helpful in reducing vaginal and rectal colonization of GBS in pregnant women. These good guys are Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14.

Can probiotics get rid of GBS?

In conclusion, the present study neither confirmed, nor refuted the hypothesis that oral probiotics have the potential to eradicate GBS during pregnancy. We found a trend toward lower rates of GBS persistence in women who received probiotics, but this trend was not statistically significant.
