INTRODUCTION
As it is well known, vaginal mucous membrane is normally "inhabited" by a rich and variable microbial flora, which is very often tissue-specific. This microbial flora can be properly divided into two categories: the "resident" flora which is almost invariably present and, if altered, can be restored; and the "transient" flora which, on the contrary, could colonize the host for short periods, although it tends to be removed through the competition of resident organisms or by host defense mechanisms. The transient flora can also consist of potentially pathogenic organisms, even if this is quite uncommon in healthy individuals.
However, the normal vaginal flora is an efficient barrier reducing the possibility for the pathogenic organisms to colonize the host surfaces (a phenomenon called "resistance to colonization").
