The contractile activity of the isolated myometrium of pregnant women with mycoplasma, chlamydia and mixed infections has been studied by pharmacological organ bath method.

The results of this study could be important for the prediction of possible complications during pregnancy and labour in women with chronic specific urogenital infections.
