Protective effects of <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> YC225 Mixture Are associated with Gut Microbiota in Vulvovaginal Candidiasis
and decreased abundance of several opportunistic taxa. Correlation analysis suggested associations between specific gut taxa and VVC parameters. Collectively, these findings indicate that oral LM may mitigate VVC-associated inflammation, epithelial damage, and fungal burden, and these effects are accompanied by changes in gut microbiota composition.
