MICROBIAL LANDSCAPE OF THE ENDOMETRIUM IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC ENDOMETRITIS.
Keywords:
chronic endometritis; women of reproductive age; endometrium; microbiota; microorganisms.Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the microbiological features of chronic endometritis (CE) in women of reproductive age. A total of 76 patients with histologically confirmed CE were examined, divided into two groups according to the degree of inflammation activity. Real-time PCR with the Femoflor-16 kit was used to analyze the endometrial microbiota. In patients without CE, the microbiota was predominantly represented by Lactobacillus spp. (85.0%) and Eubacterium spp. (60.0%). In moderate CE, Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Enterobacteriaceae spp. were detected more often, while associations of Mobiluncus spp./Corynebacterium spp. and Gardnerella vaginalis/Prevotella bivia/Porphyromonas spp. were less common (p < 0.05).
