After obtaining voluntary informed consent from each patient and determining eligibility criteria, we conducted a survey of 139 postmenopausal women. Participants were divided into 3 groups depending on the duration of postmenopause in accordance with the stages of aging of the reproductive system STRAW+10. Femoflor 16 real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to assess the state of the vaginal microbiome.</p> <p><bold>Results</bold>. After menopause in women in the group of obligate aerobes Lactobacillus spp. and Enterobacteriaceae were completely replaced by Streptococcus spp. and Staphylococcus spp., which increased in number. A significant depletion of the composition occurred in the group of obligate anaerobes. If at stages +1a and b this group is almost equally represented by 5 communities of microorganisms (Gardnerella vaginalis + Prevotella bivia + Porphyromonas and Peptostreptococcus spp., Megasphaera spp. + Veillonella spp. + Dialister spp., Mobiluncus spp. + Corynebacterium spp., Lachnobacterium spp. + Clostridium spp.), then only 3 groups prevailed in the total bacterial mass at the +1c stage (G. vaginalis + P. bivia + Porphyromonas and Peptostreptococcus spp., Megasphaera spp. + Veillonella spp. + Dialister spp., Mobiluncus spp + Corynebacterium spp.). At the postmenopausal stage +2, the total bacterial mass consisted of only 2 groups of microorganisms: G. vaginalis + P. bivia + Porphyromonas and Peptostreptococcus spp.</p> <p><bold>Conclusion</bold><bold>.</bold> Thus, the main result of age-related changes in the vaginal microflora was the impoverishment of the composition of its microbiome.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Цель.</bold> Изучить динамику микробиоты влагалища в зависимости от стадии постменопаузы по STRAW+10.</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы.</bold> После получения добровольного информированного согласия от каждой пациентки и определения соответствия критериям отбора мы провели обследование 139 женщин постменопаузального возраста. Участниц распределили в 3 группы в зависимости от продолжительности постменопаузы в соответствии с этапами старения репродуктивной системы STRAW+10. Для оценки состояния вагинального микробиома использовали метод полимеразной цепной реакции в реальном времени Фемофлор 16.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> После менопаузы у женщин в группе облигатных аэробов Lactobacillus spp. и Enterobacteriaceae полностью замещались Streptococcus spp. и Staphylococcus spp., количество которых увеличивалось. Значительное обеднение состава происходило в группе облигатных анаэробов. Если на стадии +1a и b эта группа практически в равных долях представлена 5 сообществами микроорганизмов (Gardnerella vaginalis + Prevotella bivia + Porphyromonas и Peptostreptococcus spp., Megasphaera spp. + Veillonella spp. + Dialister spp., Mobiluncus spp. + Corynebacterium spp., Lachnobacterium spp. + Clostridium spp.), то на стадии +1с в общей бактериальной массе превалировали всего 3 группы (G. vaginalis + P. bivia + Porphyromonas и Peptostreptococcus spp., Megasphaera spp. + Veillonella spp. + Dialister spp., Mobiluncus spp. + Corynebacterium spp.). На стадии постменопаузы +2 общую бактериальную массу составляли только 2 группы микроорганизмов: G. vaginalis + P. bivia + Porphyromonas и Peptostreptococcus spp.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Таким образом, основным итогом возрастных изменений микробиоты влагалища явилось обеднение состава его микробиома.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>vaginal microbiota</kwd><kwd>postmenopause</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>вагинальная микробиота</kwd><kwd>постменопауза</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Muhleisen AL, Herbst-Kralovetz MM.
