The distribution of normal, aberrant, and Candida-associated microorganisms as well as the isolation of pathogenic bacteria are the main topics of this study, which reports the microbiological profile of high vaginal swabs taken from 100 women. Normal microorganisms accounted for 51.0% (51/100), aberrant microorganisms for 27.0% (27/100), and Candida spp. for 22.0% (22/100), indicating a significant amount of non-commensal or opportunistic flora. Enterococcus faecalis was the most common bacterial isolate (19/27, 70.3%) among the 27 culture-positive cases, followed by Escherichia coli (4/27, 14.0%), Staphylococcus spp. (3/27, 11.0%), and Klebsiella sp. (1/27, 3.7%). These results demonstrate the significant contribution of Candida species and E. faecalis to the vaginal microbiota, indicating a high prevalence of pathogenic and opportunistic organisms that may have consequences for antibiotic stewardship and clinical care. This study was conducted to evaluate high vaginal abnormalities, and the most common bacteria was E. faecalis it shows high sensitivity to (linezolid) antibiotic
