Abstract:
This article presents the results of a study investigating interspecies antagonism between lactobacilli in the genital tract of women with TORCH infections, such as ureaplasmosis and CMV. Data from previous studies have shown that the mechanisms influencing the composition of vaginal lactoflora differ significantly in these infections. For example, while in ureaplasma infection, quantitative changes in lactobacilli were associated with a suppression of their biological properties, in CMV infection, a deficit in both species composition and biological properties was observed. A study of interspecies antagonism between lactobacilli (L. crispatus, L. jensenii, L. gasseri, L. fermentum, L. vaginalis, L. salivarius, L. iners) in isolated groups of women with infections showed that lactobacilli isolated from CMV infections have a low level of antagonism, i.e., they were not capable of competition.
