Florocenos - Bacterial vaginosis (Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, Lactobacillus spp., Bacteria spp.), quantification of DNA

Bacterial vaginosis is a condition in which the lactoflora is completely or partially replaced by facultative anaerobic bacteria. Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae are the key microorganisms responsible for the development of bacterial vaginosis. The main manifestation is discharge with an unpleasant odor from the vagina.

BV can contribute to premature birth, infection of amniotic fluid, chorioamnionitis, pelvic inflammatory diseases, cervicitis, and increased susceptibility to various sexual infections.

The analysis of phlorocenosis-Bacterial vaginosis allows us to determine the ratio of lactobacilli and Gardnerella vaginalis, the main marker of the development of bacterial vaginosis. The detection of Gardnerella vaginalis in a qualitative format has practically no diagnostic and clinical value. It is important to know its quantity and ratio to lactoflora.

This analysis also determines the presence of Atopobium vaginae, a microorganism that is also "guilty" of the development of bacterial vaginosis but resistant to metronidazole drugs. That is, the analysis of Florocenosis-Bacterial vaginosis makes it possible not only to diagnose a violation of the vaginal microflora but also to prescribe rational pharmacotherapy.
