Оценить значение выявления разных генотипов Gardnerella vaginalis в диагностике рецидивирующего бактериального вагиноза.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. В исследовании участвовали 299 женщин репродуктивного возраста. Все пациентки были разделены на три группы (здоровые женщины, женщины с первым эпизодом бактериального вагиноза и женщины с рецидивирующим бактериальным вагинозом). ДНК Gardnerella vaginalis в отделяемом влагалища выявляли методом ПЦР в реальном времени. Обнаружение четырех генотипов G. vaginalis выполнено с использованием мультиплексного ПЦР в реальном времени. Для количественного определения амплифицированных ПЦР-фрагментов были сконструированы стандартные количественные образцы. Статистический анализ результатов осуществляли с использованием статистического пакета NCSS11 (NCSS, LCC).</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. У 38,2% здоровых женщин в вагинальном биотопе выявляли какой-либо генотип G. vaginalis, причем наиболее часто это был генотип 4 (35,2%), при этом концентрация ДНК G. vaginalis была низкой (102–103 ГЭ/мл). При выявлении нескольких генотипов гарднерелл одновременно у здоровых женщин концентрация ДНК не превышала 104 ГЭ/мл. Совершенно другая картина наблюдалась среди женщин с бактериальным вагинозом (БВ). При первом эпизоде БВ превалировал 4-й генотип G. vaginalis как в качестве единственного генотипа, так и в сочетании с 1-м, или 2-м, или 3-м. При рецидивирующем течении БВ выявлялись исключительно сразу 3–4 генотипа G. vaginalis, причем в 78% случаев имело место сочетание 1-го, 2-го и 4-го генотипов, а концентрация ДНК составляла 107–108 ГЭ/мл.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Для диагностики рецидивирующих форм БВ необходимы разработка и внедрение в практику лабораторной диагностики тест-системы для выявления разных генотипов G. vaginalis методом ПЦР в реальном времени.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Objective</title><p>Objective. To assess the importance of identifying different genotypes of Gardnerella vaginalis in the diagnosis of recurrent bacterial vaginosis.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. The study involved 299 women of reproductive age. All patients were divided into three groups (healthy women, women with the first episode of bacterial vaginosis, and women with recurrent bacterial vaginosis). DNA of Gardnerella vaginalis in vaginal discharge was detected by real-time PCR. The detection of four genotypes of G. vaginalis was performed using real-time multiplex PCR. To quantify the amplified PCR fragments, quantitative standard samples were constructed. Statistical analysis of the results was carried out using the statistical package NCSS 11 (NCSS, LCC).</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. In 38.2 % of healthy women, any one genotype of G. vaginalis was identified in the vaginal biotope, most often it was genotype 4 (35.2 %), while the concentration of G. vaginalis DNA was low (102–103 geqs/ml). When several genotypes of gardnerella were detected simultaneously in healthy women, the DNA concentration did not exceed 104 geqs/ml. A completely different picture was observed among women with bacterial vaginosis (BV). In the first episode of BV, genotype 4 of G. vaginalis prevailed, both as a single genotype and in combination with 1 or 2, or 3 genotypes. In the recurrent course of BV, only 3–4 genotypes of G. vaginalis were detected at once, and in 78 % of cases it had place is a combination of 1, 2 and 4 genotypes, and the DNA concentration was 107–108 geqs/ml.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. To diagnose recurrent forms of BV, it is necessary to develop and introduce into practice laboratory diagnostics a test system for detecting different genotypes of G. vaginalis by real-time PCR.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>рецидивирующий бактериальный вагиноз</kwd><kwd>Gardnerella vaginalis</kwd><kwd>генотипы</kwd><kwd>диагностика</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>recurrent bacterial vaginosis</kwd><kwd>Gardnerella vaginalis</kwd><kwd>genotypes</kwd><kwd>diagnostics</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Shipitsyna E, Khusnutdinova T, Budilovskaya O et al.
