Lactobacillus are gram positive bacilli, nonspore forming anaerobes. Normally they are present in mouth, intestines and vagina. They rarely cause disease, though L.catenaforme is associated with bronchopulmonary infections. Most of them are vancomycin resistant. Lactobacillus forms the predominat bacterial flora of vagina. They ferment glycogen deposited in the vaginal epithelium and forms lactic acid which helps to maintain a acidic pH.
