| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Intra-amniotic(IA) infection is one of the important risk factors for preterm birth.
1.We have established newly rapid and bacteria-free polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. It was useful for detecting IA microorganisms. Polymicrobial infection with Mycoplasma/Ureaplasma and other bacteria induces severe IA inflammation associated with poor perinatal prognosis in preterm labor (PTL).
2.We examined the efficacy of the use of antibiotics in PTL with intact membranes, after evaluating intra-amniotic microbes by our PCR system. In the amniotic fluid (AF) microbe-negative PTL patients, antibiotic therapy significantly shortened the gestation period,whereas in the microbe-positive patients, appropriate antibiotic therapy (proper antibiotic selection against identified AF microbes) was significantly associated with an increase in gestation period . Appropriate antibiotic therapy in PTL with intact membranes prolonged the gestation period.
