Differing prevalence and diversity of bacterial species in fetal membranes from very preterm and term labor.

BACKGROUND:Intrauterine infection may play a role in preterm delivery due to spontaneous preterm labor (PTL) and preterm prolonged rupture of membranes (PPROM). Because bacteria previously associated with preterm delivery are often difficult to culture, a molecular biology approach was used to ident...
