Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Differences in the composition and stability of the microbial community between pregnant and non-pregnant women were observed and can serve as the basis to study the relationship between the vaginal microbiome and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal bacterial colonisation of the genital tract and subsequent preterm delivery and late miscarriage
TL;DR: Late miscarriage and pre term delivery are associated with the presence of bacterial vaginosis in early pregnancy, independent of recognised risk factors such as previous preterm delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
The vaginal microbiome: New information about genital tract flora using molecular based techniques
Ronald F. Lamont,Jack D. Sobel,Robert A. Akins,Sonia S. Hassan,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Roberto Romero,Roberto Romero +7 more
TL;DR: This work presents new information about genital tract flora using molecular based techniques that helps clarify the role of “good bacteria” in women’s sex lives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors in the development of intraventricular haemorrhage in the preterm neonate.
TL;DR: A new method for grading the extent of the IVH which does not depend on ventricular size is described, which showed that respiratory distress syndrome was the most important factor, but severe acidosis had some independent action on the development of IVH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Listeriosis in human pregnancy: a systematic review.
Ronald F. Lamont,Jack D. Sobel,Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Edi Vaisbuch,Sun Kwon Kim,Niels Uldbjerg,Roberto Romero +7 more
TL;DR: Prolonged use of high-dose ampicillin can significantly improve neonatal outcome and the intracellular life-cycle of Listeria protects the bacterium from host innate and adaptive immune responses.
