[The comparative characteristics of the vaginal microflora in parturient women who are carriers of Streptococcus serogroup B and in those who are free of carriage].
In the study of vaginal microflora in parturient women, carriers of group B streptococci (GBS), and those free of carriership a wide range of microorganisms, represented by aerobic and anaerobic species with the prevalence of lactobacteria in both groups of women, was isolated. The composition of vaginal microflora in parturient women did not depend on the presence of GBS in this biotope or on the level of colonization by lactobacteria. The colonization resistance (CR) of the vaginal mucosa had essential influence of the level of carriership with respect to GBS and a number of representatives of the symbiotic microflora of this locus. In the majority of cases GBS were isolated from parturient women with low CR.
