The aim of research - a comparative study of the microflora of the vagina and bowel in women with secondary infertility and gastrointestinal distress. Materials and methods. We examined gut and vaginal microbiota in 17 infertile women according to the presence or absence of gastrointestinal diseases. We used a standard procedure for microbiological examination. Results. Certain changes of bacterial load and composition in both reservoirs were established. They allowed us to conclude the same trends in characterizing of the developing dysbiosis. Conclusion. Thus, the simultaneous studying of vaginal and gut microflora seems to be rational during the examination of women with childbearing disorders. It could possibly increase the treatment efficacy and/or prevent the development of some pathology.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is one of the most common infections caused by . VVC is characterized by an inadequate hyperinflammatory response and clinical symptoms associated with colonization of the vaginal mucosa. Compared to other host niches in which can cause infection, the vaginal environment is extremely rich in lactic acid that is produced by the vaginal microbiota.

Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) is a superantigen produced by and is the determinant of menstrual toxic shock syndrome (mTSS); however, the impact of TSST-1 on the vaginal environment beyond mTSS is not understood. Herein, we assessed how TSST-1 affects vaginal colonization by , host inflammatory responses, and changes in microbial communities within the murine vagina. We demonstrated that TSST-1 induced a CD8 T-cell-dependent inflammatory response in 24 h that correlated with persistence within the vaginal tract.

Background: A subgroup of patients with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) exhibit organ sensitization, whose origin and mechanism remains largely unknown. Changes in microbiota composition in pelvic organs have been found to be associated with various pelvic pathological conditions. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of the gut and genito-urinary microbiota composition and interactions in women with CPP may be key to understanding their involvement in the sensitization processes.

Background: Aerobic vaginitis (AV) is a state of abnormal vaginal microbiota, which is associated with increased numbers of aerobic, enteric bacteria and inflammation of the vaginal epithelium. Anti-microbial treatment combined with anti-inflammatory therapy could be useful in the treatment of this condition. It is known that calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, plays an important role in modulating the immune response in several inflammatory diseases.

Women's health is related to several factors that include physical, mental, and reproductive health. Additionally, the vaginal microbiota modulation performs a fundamental role in the regulation of physiological homeostasis and dysbiosis, which provides us a potential overview of the use of different biotic agents and their implications for female health. The objective of this work was propitiated insights and conception about the influence of probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics as adjuvants for prevention/treatment on the main infections that can affect women's health.
