Aims: This work is aimed to investigate microflora formation, quantitative and qualitative features of various bacteria colonization in the women in labor, and newborns depending on the microbiological profile and locality altitude. Rationale: Physiological and social adaptation of newborns in extreme climate of mountains, in particular the microflora formation in unusual conditions studied. Findings: In the study of nasal microflora, the C. albicans species in case of women in labor were 77.7%, while in the newborns C. albicans species were 2 times less. In lowlands, the S. aureus type was prevailed, while in case of midlands prevailed bacterium was S. epidermidis. In the newborns of highlands, E. coli was prevailed, as in the examined lowlands, it found as 75%. In the women in labor, C. albicans were detected as 56.6%, C. krusei was 36.6%, S. aureus was 23.3%, S. epidermidis was 60% and E. coli was 30%. In newborns, representatives of candida fungi found: C. albicans was 3.3%, C. krusei was 26.6%, S. aureus was 43.3%, S. epidermidis was 53.6% and E. coli was 36.6%. Conclusions: In this work, we determined bacterial microflora colonization in throat, nasal, vaginal, urinoculture and skin swab of women in labor and newborns in lowland, midland and highland conditions, respectively.
