Benzoyl Peroxide Formulated Polycarbophil/Carbopol 934P Hydrogel with Selective Antimicrobial Activity, Potentially Beneficial for Treatment and Prevention of Bacterial Vaginosis

<table>BPO inhibits <i>G. vaginalis</i> (a) but not healthy vaginal lactobacilli <i>L. vaginalis</i> (b), <i>L. gasseri</i> (c), <i>L. plantarum</i> (d), and <i>L. acidophilus</i> (e) in direct exposure experiments. (●) represents the negative control, (□) represents the base gel, (▲) represents 1% BPO hydrogel, and (<i>◊</i>) represents BPO particles. Experiments were conducted at least twice in duplicate. Mean values and standard deviations are shown.</table>
