Abstract

Vaginal lactobacilli are key regulators of host inflammation, yet the mechanisms remain understudied. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Glick et al. identify a family of beta-carbolines as anti-inflammatory effectors produced by vaginal Lactobacillus species, highlighting their potential as therapeutics for vaginal inflammatory disorders.
