COMPREHENSIVE BACTERIOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE VAGINAL DISCHARGE DURING BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS

Georgian Med News. 2021 Feb:(311):46-50.

Abstract

Along with sexually transmitted infections opportunistic pathogens and normal microbiota are becoming increasingly clinically important. Opportunistic pathogens can lead to purulent-inflammatory process of the genitals The aim of the current work was to detect qualitative and quantitative composition of vagina contents in non-specific bacterial vaginosis. Vaginal microbiota of 298 women aged from 16 to 64 years old was analyzed. Examination was provided by polymerase chain reaction. In normocenosis with domination of enterobacteria the prevalence index of conditionally-pathogenic microflora wasn't more than 3 lg GE/sample. With absence of mycoplasmas the quantity of conditionally-pathogenic microorganisms wasn't more than 104,5. At same time in patients with dysbiosis of I and II levels index of conditionally-pathogenic microflora was from 3 to 1 and less than 1 lg GE/sample accordingly; there was diagnosed a significant decrease of the total bacterial mass. Simultaneously, decreasing of Lactobacillus quantity (more expressed in dysbiosis-II) meanwhile appearance of mycoplasmas and utmost constant quantity of Candida was revealed. A comprehensive determination of a wide range of opportunistic pathogens on the background of normal flora in the vaginal discharge of women of different ages had been studied.
