Microbial load of umbilical cord blood<i>Ureaplasma</i>species and<i>Mycoplasma hominis</i>in preterm prelabor rupture of membranes

Abstract

A high microbial load of genital mycoplasma Ureaplasma species DNA in the umbilical cord in pregnancies complicated by pPROM is not associated with a high fetal inflammatory response and is therefore not associated with serious neonatal morbidity.
