The literature review is devoted to the history of studying the microflora of the genital tract and modern ideas about the microbiota of the vagina. The article defines the state of the vaginal microflora in normal and in its disorders, such as bacterial vaginosis and vaginitis. The information about the main methods of laboratory diagnostics used to study the microbiocenosis of the vagina is summarized. The conclusion is made about the need for further optimization and standardization of modern methods for assessing the vaginal biotope.
