Characteristics of vaginal microbiocenosis in patients with cervical dysplastic processes

https://doi.org/10.58708/2074-2088.2026-2(38)-59-66

Abstract

The article presents the results of studying the taxonomic structure of lactobacilli in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Species identification was performed using modern methods of clinical microbiology: mass spectrometry and molecular genetic methods. Based on the results of the studies, the features of the taxonomic characteristics of lactobacilli in cervical dysplasia were determined. The studies revealed a predominance of L. crispatus in women without pathological changes in the cervix, while L. iners was the leading species in cervical dysplasia.
