Zusammenfassung: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. La presente invención proporciona composiciones y formulaciones capaces de mantener o promover el crecimiento de ciertas cepas de Lactobacilli spp. Las composiciones y formulaciones generalmente comprenden solamente un agente terapéutico único seleccionado del grupo que consiste en isomaltulosa, maltitol, pululano, maltotriosa, 2-desoxi-D-ribosa, 1-cestosa y erlosa. El agente terapéutico único es la única fuente de carbono para la bacteria cuando se administra a un usuario. A pesar de comprender solamente un agente terapéutico único se ha demostrado que las composiciones promueven el crecimiento y mantenimiento de lactobacilos beneficiosos e inhiben eficazmente el crecimiento de patógenos asociados con las infecciones urogenitales. Como tal la administración de las composiciones mantienen un equilibrio saludable de la microflora en el área urogenital.
