PHAGE THERAPY IN THE PREVENTION OF BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS RELAPSES
Bacterial vaginosis is an infectious non-inflammatory disease of the vagina. In recent years, interest in the problem of recurrence of this disease has significantly increased. In this article, we compared the effectiveness of the treatment of bacterial vaginosis using standard schemes with metronidazole and chlorhexidine bigluconate in a combination of these schemes together with a complex of bacteriophages in a gel form. The effectiveness of therapy was evaluated using the R. Amsel criteria. The data obtained by us indicate that the use of the bacteriophage complex does not lead to an improvement in the recovery rate. However, the use of a bacteriophage complex in combination with the main antibacterial treatment of bacterial vaginosis significantly reduces the percentage of relapses during a year.
