Methodology: For evolution of adhesion used microbial adhesion to solvents (MATS) test. Autoaggregation and coaggregation measured by the absorbance (A) at 600 nm of the cell suspensions after vortexing and after 5 h of incubation at room temperature. Results: MATS shows that L. acidophilus GH 201 and L. plantarum GH 202 of lactobacilli have 47.47% and 46.94% hydrophobicity respectively. It is a first time showed that lactococci (L. lactis GH 204 and L. lactis GH 211) have high hydrophobicity, 65.32% and 25.52% respectively, significantly excessing the hydrophobicity of known L. lactisATCC 19435 and L. lactis HV219 (0.78 - 4.0%). It is revealed that treating of C. albicans by supernatant of L. plantarum GH 202 culture drastically reduce from 46.6% to 12.64% it`s adhesive properties to solvents. The coaggregation abilities of L. acidophilus GH 201, L. plantarum GH 202 and L. delbruecki GH 205 (50.73%, 49.71% and 35.8% respectively) with C. albicans - the main causative agent of vaginoses were high. It is interesting, that L. lactis GH 204 also has high coaggregation capacity with C. albicans, about 20 times surpassing the well-known strain L. lactis ATCC 19435. Conclusions: The vaginal LAB strains isolated from Armenian women due to their high aggregation, coaggregation and adhesive properties can be use in pharmaceutical preparation, such as suppositories, capsules and tablets for colonization/recolonization vaginal ecosystem&#13;
