Lactobacillus fermentum is a Gram-positive species of bacterium in the genus Lactobacillus. It is associated with active dental caries lesions.[1] It is also commonly found in fermenting animal and plant material.[2] A few strains are considered probiotic or "friendly" bacteria in animals [3] and at least one strain has been applied to treat urogenital infections in women.[4]
