A vaginitis pathogen-inhibiting composition comprises a fermentate of lactic acid bacteria, which is generated by jointly fermenting a lactic acid bacteria strain and Streptococcus thermophilus in a medium containing at least one of milk, powdered milk, and casein. The lactic acid bacteria strain includes an AP-32 strain of Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. Salicinius; an F-1 strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus; a GL-165 strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus; a CP-9 strain of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis; a Bf-688 strain of Bifidobacterium bifidum; a Bv-889 strain of Bifidobacterium breve; or combinations thereof. The above-mentioned fermentate of the lactic acid bacteria strain can inhibit growth of vaginitis pathogens and may be in form of a food composition, a pharmaceutical composition, or a vagina-cleaning composition. |
