What changes might occur in the vagina if lactobacilli were eliminated?

A. The acidic pH might change to a more neutral (and pathogen-fostering) level. B. Lactobacilli often produce the anti-anaerobic bacteria compound hydrogen peroxide. Without it, anaerobic pathogens might cause disease states (e.g. gas gangrene). C. There would be no change in the health of the woman-other members of the normal microbiota would 'fill in the gap' in the population, resulting in no overall change. D. The acidic pH might change to a more neutral (and pathogen-fostering) level AND lactobacilli often produce the anti-anaerobic bacteria compound hydrogen peroxide. Without it, anaerobic pathogens might cause disease states (e.g. gas gangrene).
