Lactobacillus gasseri is a species in the genus Lactobacillus identified in 1980 by François Gasser and his associates.[1][2]

L. gasseri is a normal inhabitant of the intestines and lower reproductive tract in healthy women.[3] It is one of the four main species of Lactobacillus considered to be the major part of the vaginal flora, along with Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus jensenii, and Lactobacillus iners.[4]

Lactobacillus gasseri produces gassericin A, a bacteriocin.[5] It also produces Lactocillin.[6]

Its 1.89Mbp genome has been sequenced in 2008.[7]
