Abstract

The objective was to review and analyze the microbiota of the vagina. It was analyzed the composition, the different changes through the women's lives and, its defense mechanism. It was reviewed the websites of Pub Med, Google Scholar, Springer, Web of Knowledge, DOAJ, Hinari, Oxford Academic, JAMA Network, Embase, Research Life for English and Scielo, Lantidex, Imbiomed-L, Redalycy Google Scholar for Spanish. Publications from January 1970 to February 2021. Molecular biology technologies have allowed us to have a better vision of the bacterial diversity present in the vaginal microenvironment or microbiota, as well as have allowed us to discover or reveal the existence of bacterial categories until then unknown.

Keywords: Vagina; Microbiota; Lactobacillus
