Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions and formulations capable of maintaining or promoting the growth of certain strains of  Lactobacilli  spp. The compositions and formulations generally comprise only a single therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of isomaltulose, maltitol, pullulan, maltotriose, 2-deoxy-D-ribose, 1-kestose and erlose. The single therapeutic agent is the sole source of carbon for bacterium when administered to a user. Despite comprising only a single therapeutic agent the compositions have been shown to promote the growth and maintenance of beneficial  lactobacilli  and to effectively inhibit the growth of pathogens associated with urogenital infections. As such administration of the compositions maintain a healthy microflora balance in the urogenital area.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 12  wherein the composition further comprises an organic acid selected from the group consisting of citric acid, lactic acid, methyllactic acid, phenyllactic acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, glycolic acid, tartronic acid, tartaric acid and gluconic acid, the composition having a pH from about 3.0 to about 5.0 and wherein the composition promotes the growth of  L. crispatus  relative to  E. coli  such that the therapeutic effect is greater than about 100.
