Ureaplasma parvum genotype, combined vaginal colonisation with Candida albicans, and spontaneous preterm birth in an Australian cohort of pregnant women
BACKGROUND Detection of Ureaplasma, Mycoplasma and Candida spp. in the vagina during pregnancy has previously been associated with preterm birth (PTB). However, the prevalence of these microorganisms and the associated obstetric risks (likely to be population-specific) have not been determined in Australian women; furthermore, in the case of Ureaplasma spp., very few studies have attempted char...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Vaginal Microorganisms in Pregnant Women with Preterm Labor and Preterm Birth
BACKGROUND To investigate the risk factors for vaginal infections and antimicrobial susceptibilities of vaginal microorganisms among women who experienced preterm birth (PTB), we compared the prevalence of vaginal microorganisms between women who experienced preterm labor (PTL) without preterm delivery and spontaneous PTB. METHODS Vaginal swab specimens from 126 pregnant women who experienced...
متن کاملCandida albicans promotes invasion and colonisation of Candida glabrata in a reconstituted human vaginal epithelium.
OBJECTIVE The principal aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro co-infection of a reconstituted human vaginal epithelium (RHVE) by Candida albicans and Candida glabrata. METHODS The ability of both species to invade and colonise the RHVE was examined using species-specific peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe hybridisation, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and a novel qRT-PCR p...
متن کاملThe common vaginal commensal bacterium Ureaplasma parvum is associated with chorioamnionitis in extreme preterm labor.
OBJECTIVE To assess the association of vaginal commensal and low-grade pathogenic bacteria including Ureaplasma parvum, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Group B streptococcus (GBS), and Gardnerella vaginalis, in women who delivered preterm at less than 37-week gestation in the presence or absence of inflammation of the chorioamnionitic membranes. METHODS A ca...
متن کاملPrevalence of vaginal microorganisms among pregnant women according to trimester and association with preterm birth
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of abnormal vaginal microorganisms in pregnant women according to trimester, and to determine whether the presence of abnormal vaginal colonization is associated with higher risk of miscarriage or preterm delivery. Furthermore, we analyzed delivery outcomes according to individual microorganism species. Methods We included preg...
