Intestinal Dysbiosis As a Possible Predictor of Very Early Preterm Labor in Pregnant Women With Metabolic Syndrome. J Med Life. 2020 Apr-Jun;13(2):200-205 Authors: Pavlovska OM, Pavlovska KM, Heryak SM, Khmil SV, Gorban NY Abstract The work assessed the state of the intestinal microbiocenosis in 52 puerperae at the in whom the pregnancy developed against the background of the metabolic syndrome. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was determined according to the criteria approved by the World Health Organization for pregnant women. The state of intestinal microbiocenosis was assessed by a bacteriological examination of feces immediately after delivery. The content of the main representatives of the obligate microflora (bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, native intestinal bacilli, fecal streptococci) and facultative (conditionally pathogenic) microorganisms (representatives of the genus PrŠ¾teus, Klebsiella, pathogenic strains of E. coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterobacter, Citrobacter, Clostridium difficile, Candida fungi) was determined. Cultures were made on appropriate growth media. At the time of birth, all patients of group I showed signs of intestinal microbiocenosis disorder. At the same time, 13 (54.2%) puerperae were diagnosed signs of dysbiosis of II degree, 9 (37.5%) with signs of III degree, which were generally characterized by a significant decrease in the content of the main representatives of obligate microflora (Bif...
