Article Synopsis
- Intrauterine infections may contribute to preterm delivery through conditions such as spontaneous preterm labor (PTL) and preterm prolonged rupture of membranes (PPROM), leading researchers to use molecular biology to identify bacterial DNA in fetal and placental tissues.
- A study involving 74 women revealed that bacterial DNA was more prevalent in cases of PTL and PPROM, with significantly higher rates compared to term deliveries, indicating a greater spread and diversity of bacteria in preterm births.
- The presence of bacteria was linked to immune system changes and the condition of histological chorioamnionitis, highlighting the potential role of bacterial infections in preterm delivery outcomes.
