Several other studies have also demonstrated the efficacy of probiotics in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. One such example is the titled the following by Kingsley et. al.

Augmentation of antimicrobial metronidazole therapy of bacterial
vaginosis with oral probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and
Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14: randomized, double-blind,
placebo controlled trial

Although some of these studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of probiotics as a first-line treatment for bacterial vaginosis, it would appear in practice that probiotics are more suited for prophylaxis rather than treatment.

The fact that probiotics reduced recurrence rates of BV in this study comes as no surprise to any practitioner who is versed in the field of BV, but it is helpful to know the extent of its effects, as outlined clearly in the results of this study.
