Abstract

The microbiocenosis of the vagina is a set of microorganisms that inhabit this habitat, normally represented mainly by lactobacilli. The condition of the microbiocenosis of the vagina is of great importance for reproductive health. Bacterial vaginosis and aerobic vaginitis are infectious diseases of the vagina caused by imbalances between physiological and opportunistic microflora, which are normally found in small quantities. The purpose of the study. The work is devoted to the study and analysis of the microflora of the urogenital tract of women in different periods of life with dysbiotic disorders. Materials and methods. A study of the vaginal microflora of 50 women of different ages who complained to a gynecologist was carried out. Microscopic examination of biological material from the vagina using Pappenheim staining showed complete or partial absence of lactobacilli in the samples and their replacement by other bacteria. Smear microscopy showed an increased content of epithelial cells, leukocytes and "key cells" - Gardnerella vaginalis in 25% of women of the 2nd age category (25-35 years old). In women of the 1st and 3rd age categories (15-25 and 45-65 years old, respectively), the content of epithelial cells and leukocytes was normal or slightly higher than normal. Results and discussion. In no case were gonococci and Trichomonas detected in the examined smears. Lactobacilli (bacillus flora) were most often registered in the 1st age category - almost 80%, against 12% in the second and 13% in the third. In 68% of women of the 2nd age category the mixed coco-stick flora prevailed; in the 3rd age group mixed microflora was found in 36% of people; in the first – was absent. Poor microflora was most often found in group 3 of women – 66%, against 20% in group 2, and was not observed in women of group 1. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to identify microorganisms in the studied samples. Conclusion. As a result of the survey of women of all ages, 155 strains of pathogenic microorganisms were isolated. The largest number of samples contained Candida spp. (18.7%), Staphylococcus spp. (10.3%), Gardnerella vaginalis (9.7%), Streptococcus spp. (7.1%), Mobiluncus spp., Atopobium vaginae, Leptotrichia spp., Eubacterium spp. were detected in a small number of samples, Ureaplasma urealytic and Mycoplasma hominis were not detected

Highlights

  • Мікробіоценоз піхви в нормі представлений переважно лактобацилами і має велике значення для репродуктивного здоров’я

  • Проведено дослідження мікрофлори піхви 50 жінок різного віку, що звернулися зі скаргами до лікаря-гінеколога

  • Скудна мікрофлора найчастіше виявлялася в 3 групі жінок (66%), у 2 групі – 20% та зовсім не відмічалася у жінок 1 групи

Summary

Introduction

Мікробіоценоз піхви в нормі представлений переважно лактобацилами і має велике значення для репродуктивного здоров’я. У 25% жінок 2 вікової категорії (25-35 років) виявлявся підвищений вміст епітеліальних клітин, лейкоцитів та «ключових клітин» – Gardnerella vaginalis. У 68% жінок 2 вікової категорії переважала змішана коково-паличкова флора; у 3 віковій групі змішана мікрофлора виявлена у 36% осіб; у першій була відсутня.
