Role of @entity12726 in XXXX .

@entity1 @entity281 @entity12726 @entity5870
@entity12726 is commonly isolated from the amniotic fluid of unselected individuals with intact membranes at the time of cesarean section even prior to onset of labor. The risk of placental infection increases with onset of labor, rupture of membranes and number of vaginal examinations. Qualitative cultures of @entity1 with clinical signs of @entity281 and matched controls indicate that @entity12726 can be found in 50% of amniotic fluid samples of both groups thus suggesting that it may not be a cause of clinical @entity5870 . To gain further understanding of the potential role of this organism, we performed amniotic fluid and blood cultures and measured serologic responses by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in @entity1 with clinical @entity281 and matched controls. @entity12726 was the single most common bacterial species isolated from maternal blood and amniotic fluid but the isolation rate did not differ between symptomatic and asymptomatic @entity1 . Also other known pathogenic bacteria were often isolated from amniotic fluids containing ureaplasmas. However, the marked difference in serologic response between symptomatic and asymptomatic @entity1 and the occurrence of ureaplasmemia in some suggest that in certain individuals @entity12726 may be a cause of clinical @entity5870 . Serologic responsiveness, ureaplasmemia and isolation of ureaplasmas in pure culture from amniotic fluid of some asymptomatic @entity1 suggest that @entity12726 may also be a cause of clinically silent @entity5870 . Previous studies have shown a significant association between @entity5870 documented by histopathology and isolation of @entity12726 from the placenta or @entity1 but not the maternal cervix.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
