Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It has become a major public health issue due to multidrug resistance, especially resistance to the current last-intention treatment.Lactobacillus crispatus, a natural bacterium, commensal to the woman's vagina, has been shown to inhibit Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Gels, a well-accepted dosage form, are already used for the treatment of woman's genital infections. Having a gel containing Lactobacillus crispatus, that is effective, easy to administer by the woman herself, would be ideal for the prevention of gonorrhea. Thus, we designed a gel based on a thermogelling polymer, poloxamer 407, and a biocompatible polymer, sodium alginate. First, a physicochemical study of...
