Synergistic effects of carvacrol, α-terpinene, γ-terpinene, ρ-cymene and linalo...
Sousa, Lúcia G. V.; Castro, Joana; Cavaleiro, Carlos; Salgueiro, Lígia; Tomás, Mariana; Palmeira-Oliveira, Rita; Martinez-Oliveira, José; Cerca, NunoBacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection affecting women worldwide.
