Abstract

The paper reviews publications devoted to cross-sectional studies of the composition of vaginal and gut microbiotas in order to assess the relationship between impaired intestinal microbiocenosis and dysbiotic processes in vaginal microbiocenosis. An analysis of the literature has shown that the change in the number of certain types of microorganisms in a particular biotope or the identification of species that are not peculiar to this habitat serves as a signal for adaptive or irreversible changes in the appropriate component of the microecosystem. These changes are known to be interrelated and occur simultaneously in several biotopes. Vaginal dysbiosis can result in a cascade of processes that disrupt balance in the female reproductive tract, causing various infectious and inflammatory processes. In this connection, gut and vaginal microbiotas as indicators of female reproductive health deserve the special attention of obstetricians and gynecologists today. A number of recent studies have identified a correlation between microbial communities in pregnant women and women whose pregnancy was complicated. Both the vaginal and gut microbiotas contribute to mother-to-infant Bifidobacterium transmission, and establishing the fact that the vaginal and gut bacteria represent the same population is an important step for future studies of maternal and neonatal health. Conclusion: Data on the intestinal microflora serve as informative indicators of a woman's health, and the substantial changes in the composition of the intestinal microbiocenosis require adequate correction. The expediency of conducting studies in this area is confirmed.
