Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Preterm delivery and endometriosis are classified to inflammatory diseases. Recent data demonstrate that the changes of intestinal flora are correlated with inflammatory diseases by affecting immune system. Therefore, we have studied the metagenome profile in preterm labor cases and endometriosis cases. We have not found significant changes in intestinal flora, but abundance of Escherichia/Shigella was found in some preterm labor cases, and abundance of Meganonas and decreased Parabacteroides were found in some endometriosis cases. We should clarified the relationship between patients conditions and abnormality of intestinal flora.
