Article Synopsis
- The study investigated bacterial vaginal infections in asymptomatic pregnant women and how these infections can be passed to their newborns during delivery.
- Out of 455 pregnant women tested, 14.1% had STIs, with a vertical transmission rate of 17.2% of these infections to their infants.
- Ureaplasma urealyticum was the most common infection found in mothers, and longer labor increased the risk of passing STIs to the baby, underscoring the need for STI screening during pregnancy.
