Abstract
Ahigher concentrations of microorganisms in the vagina can lead to preterm delivery. Bacterial vaginosis is a well known risk factor of preterm delivery. Aim of this study was to estimate the presence of bacterial vaginosis as a potential cause of preterm delivery relative to the patients with term delivery, as well as to define the type of present bacteria. The results of our investigation showed more frequent presence of bacterial infection of the vagina in the patients with preterm delivery. The following bacteria have been cultured in the group of patients with preterm delivery: Streptocossus agalctiae, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus sp. and Escherichia coli. In prevention of preterm delivery, we recommend a routine screening of pregnant women (such as obtaining smears to bacterial infection) as well as administration of the therapy in case of positive findings, particularly in those presenting a risk for the development of bacterial vaginosis and preterm delivery.
