Characteristics Of Biological Indicators Of Lactobacilli Providing Their Colonization Resistance Of The Genital Tract Of Women Of Fertile Age
Abstract
This scientific review expands the understanding of the mechanisms of colonization resistance of the vaginal mucosa by lactobacilli of the female reproductive tract, which are based on adhesion to epithelial cells, the production of lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide and bacteriocins. Changes in these properties of the vagina lead to a disruption of the vaginal normocenosis, which can lead to the onset of gynecological diseases such as colpitis, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and cervical cancer.
