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.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

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.

TL;DR: It is shown that vaginal microbiome composition dramatically changes postpartum to become less Lactobacillus spp.

Anaerobe Laboratory manual
TL;DR: The anaerobe laboratory manual is one of the literary work in this world in suitable to be reading material and it will show the amazing benefits of reading a book.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Puerperal infectious morbidity: A two-year review
TL;DR: A statistically significantly greater incidence of infection following cesarean section was seen on the indigent service as compared to the service with a more affluent patient population, and there has been a change in the microbiological recovery of organisms from patients with postpartum endometritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial flora of the cervix from 100 prehysterectomy patients.
Marilyn J. Ohm,Rudolph P. Galask +1 more
TL;DR: The aerobic and anaerobic flora of 100 women prior to their undergoing hysterectomy are described and the gram-positive cocci were the most prevalent aerobic organisms isolated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Puerperal endometritis: a prospective microbiologic study.
TL;DR: The flora in the endometrial cavity of two groups of puerperal patients: 47 afebrile control subjects and 27 with endometritis were determined, and the most common pathogenic organisms were peptostreptococci, peptococci and E. coli.
