详细
Modern diagnosis of infectious-inflammatory diseases and imbalances in the female urogenital tract microbiota requires selecting an optimal laboratory method. Based on a review of the literature, a comparative analysis of quantitative polymerase chain reaction and culture (microbiological) methods is conducted. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods are considered. Rational use of both methods, guided by their strengths and limitations, is key to effective clinical practice.
