title: [Bacterial flora of the vagina and the effect of endogenous and exogenous factors on its changes].
abstract: The paper describes composition of the bacterial vaginal flora and its basic mechanisms enabling coexistence of different bacterial species residing in this region. A role of the dominant bacteria in maintaining stability of the microflora was stressed. Also various factors influencing ecological balance of the vaginal flora were presented.
