Abstract

The main metabolite of lactobacilli, regulating their anti-inflammatory functions, is lactic acid (LA), which maintains the physiological state of the microbiocenosis of the vagina of women of reproductive age. Normocenosis of the vagina is based on a combination of acidic environment and colonization resistance. Pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic pathogens are colonized mainly in  an alkaline environment. LA is an important biological substrate that supports the  vaginal microbiota. Normally, the reaction of the vaginal contents is a pH of 3.8 to 4.5, and only in this case lactobacilli predominate in the biotope, which are able to unite into special communities – biofilms, forming the most powerful factor in protecting the vagina from adhesion and invasion of pathogens: a full-fledged lactobacillary biofilm is often able to prevent adhesion of even STI pathogens. Disruption of the functioning of each of the links of protection of the vaginal microbiome leads to a change in the pH of the habitat and excessive reproduction of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms. A frequent infectious syndrome, accompanied by an imbalance of the vaginal microbiota and the replacement of lactoflora with various types of anaerobic microorganisms (Gardnerella vaginalis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, Mobiluncus, Prevotella), is bacterial vaginosis. When prescribing antibacterial treatment, side effects are possible: allergic reactions, hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic, candidiasis. The review presents the possibility of using LA, which is a basis in the composition of the drug Lactodepantol (Femilex®) – vaginal suppositories containing 100 mg of LA, as the main factor regulating the natural composition of the vaginal microbiota and the possibility of using vaginal suppositories based on LA (lactodepantol) for the prevention and treatment of bacterial vaginosis in the form of monotherapy and in combination with antimicrobials.
