Objective. To carry out a systematic analysis of the data available in the literature on rational therapy for vaginal microbiocenotic disorders during combined antibacterial therapy to optimize the use of probiotics.
Material and methods. The review includes the data of foreign and Russian articles found in the international system Pubmed.
Results. The polymicrobial etiology of the inflammatory process requires combined antibacterial therapy using 2–3 antibiotics, which predisposes to dysbiotic states and the growth of opportunistic pathogens, including Candida fungi. It is advisable to prophylactically take probiotics simultaneously with the initiation of antibiotic therapy, which is more effective than the use of probiotics immediately after completion of an antibiotic therapy cycle. The vagina can be colonized by probiotic bacteria following oral administration if acid-resistant strains of lactobacilli are used.
Conclusion. It is expedient to simultaneously take acid-resistant probiotic strains per os during antibiotic therapy in order to restore a normal protective flora and to suppress the opportunistic intestinal microorganisms that are able to colonize the urogenital area.
