Lactobacillemia of amniotic fluid origin
Obstet Gynecol.
1986 Jul.
Abstract
Four cases of amnionitis due to Lactobacillus sp and three cases of bacteremia are reported. Postpartum endometritis developed in all four cases. Lactobacillus bacteremia occurred in two infants. A review of the literature on serious infections due to Lactobacillus sp is also presented. The importance of considering the clinical role of any microorganism isolated in pure culture from symptomatic patients is discussed.
