Summary
The trial intends to evaluate the efficacy of specially designed probiotics to prevent
premature birth and related neonatal morbidity associated to intra-uterine infection. The
tested probiotics are efficacious to decrease the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis. The
study hypothesis is that the early administration of those probiotics to pregnant women with
bacterial vaginosis can prevent premature birth through antibiotic activity and modulation of
the immune response to infection.
