Aerobic and anaerobic flora of the cervix during pregnancy and the puerperium

TLDR
Comparison of species of bacteria isolated from patients with endometritis with species isolated from normal pregnant and nonpregnant women suggests that bacteria causing infections are indigenous to the genital tract, however, complete studies of the flora of pregnant women, especially anaerobic flora, are lacking.

Developmental microbial ecology of the neonatal gastrointestinal tract

TL;DR: In this review, the development of the intestinal microbiota is discussed in terms of initial acquisition and subsequent succession of bacteria in human infants and the advantages of modern molecular ecology techniques that provide sensitive and specific, culture-independent evaluation of the gastrointestinal ecosystem are introduced.

The microbiome in early life: implications for health outcomes

TL;DR: How prenatal and postnatal factors shape the development of both the microbiome and the immune system are described and the prospects of microbiome-mediated therapeutics and the need for more effective approaches that can reconfigure bacterial communities from pathogenic to homeostatic configurations are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging role of lactobacilli in the control and maintenance of the vaginal bacterial microflora.

TL;DR: The role that vaginal lactobacilli may play in control of the vaginal microflora and maintenance of the normal state is emphasized and the limitations of the methodology for such investigations must be considered.

Independent associations of bacterial vaginosis and Chlamydia trachomatis infection with adverse pregnancy outcome.

TL;DR: Pregnancy outcome to bacterial vaginosis, an anaerobic vaginal condition, and to other selected genital pathogens among 534 gravid women was prospectively studied, finding that neonates born to women with bacterialvaginosis had lower mean birth weight than did neonatesBorn to women without bacterial vagInosis.

Anaerobic microflora of the cervix in healthy women.

TL;DR: Bacteriologic cultures were obtained from the eervix in 30 healthy women, suggesting that the normal flora of the cervix is potentially pathogenic and aerobic and facultative bacteria were also present in these cultures.
