F Azouzi et al. Case Rep Womens Health. .

Abstract

Lactococcus lactis cremoris is rarely involved in human pathology. A thirty two-year old pregnant woman with premature rupture of membrane history presented with chorioamnionitis due to L. lactis cremoris. She underwent an emergency caesarian section and was treated with antibiotics including the association of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. She was completely recovered. This is the first case to our knowledge of chorioamnionitis due to this organism.

Keywords: Chorioamnionitis; Lactococcus lactis cremoris; Premature rupture of membranes.
