It is established that in all patients the dominant microorganisms of analyzed biotope were bacteria of genus of Streptococcus and Peptostreptococcus released in number of 5-6 Ig CFU/cm2. The gender and quantitative characteristics of opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms varied during all year of monitoring.
