is a commensal and opportunistic bacterium widely distributed around the world in different niches including intestinal of humans and animals, and its extraordinary genome plasticity led to the emergence of pathogenic strains causing a wide range of diseases. is one of the monitored species in maternity hospitals, being the main etiological agent of urogenital infections, endometriosis, puerperal sepsis, and neonatal diseases. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of isolates obtained from the maternal birth canal of healthy puerperant women 3-4 days after labor.
