In the present study, 90 women were enrolled, and high-throughput sequencing technology was firstly used to analyze the vaginal microbiota of healthy women (C group), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia patients (CIN group) and cervical cancer patients (CER group). Our results indicates that compared with C group, a higher HPV infection rate as well as increased Neutrophil ratio and tumor marker squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) were obtained, and a decrease in Lymphocyte ratio and Hemoglobin were also present. In addition, the cervical cancer showed a strong association with reduced probiotics\n                    <jats:italic>Lactobacillus<\/jats:italic>\n                    , increased pathogens\n                    <jats:italic>Prevotella<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp.,\n                    <jats:italic>Sneathia<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. and\n                    <jats:italic>Pseudomonas<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. These results prove that the immunological changes generated by the cervical cancer and the vaginal microbiota can interact with each other.
