Zusammenfassung

Background . Ureaplasma spp. are the most frequently isolated microorganisms inside the amniotic cavity and have been associated with spontaneous abortion, chorioamnionitis, premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) and preterm labor (PL). Methods. We analyzed 118 samples from amniotic fluid of preterm infants prior to 34 weeks of gestation by quantitative PCR (qPCR). Bacterial load, Ureaplasma biovar discrimination (U. urealyticum and U. parvum) and the level of inflammation were correlated with short-term clinical outcome. Results. U. parvum was the predominant biovar and increased bacterial load was significa…
