treatment of lactobacillus infection
However, in rare cases, lactobacilli can cause serious infections of the bloodstream, urinary tract and internal organs, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Clearance of the infection is the main aim of the treatment. Antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment for lactobacillus infections. Penicillin is the common antibiotic used and can be administered orally or intravenously, depending on the condition of the patient.
