Abstract
Bacterial vaginosis are infections that affect 30% of the women in reproductive age. It’s a not well understood, common disease, that its mostly treated without clear cause. The vaginosis is a process caused by the disbiosis of vaginal microbiome, in which the disruption of the ecosystem causes inflammation and shift from lactobacillus to other microorganisms. Different risk factors, environmental determinants, and the individual, promote vaginal disbiosis. Even though different microorganisms have been associated to the disease, there is no etiologic agent. Metagenomic studies, had determined that, microorganisms no detected by normal methods, like bacterial culture, are associated to the disease. The detection of this agents in the general population, may change the knowledge about the vaginal microbiome, and determine the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis. In conclusion, that there’s a small amount of information of vaginal microbiome, but a lot to investigate and comprehend. This must be an incentive for professionals, and their job in making questions and finding answers, in order to generate new efficient treatments.
