    Summary

    Anaerobic bacteria are the primary cause of septic abortion. Studies show a significant increase in anaerobic colonization in patients compared to healthy controls, highlighting their etiological role.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Septic abortion is a serious complication of pregnancy.
    • Identifying the causative agents is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the significant etiological agents of septic abortion.
    • To compare the bacterial flora in septic abortion patients with normal controls.

    Main Methods:

    • Bacterial flora analysis of genital tracts.
    • Quantitative and qualitative assessment of anaerobic and facultative bacteria.
    • Comparison between 22 septic abortion patients and 20 healthy controls.

    Main Results:

    • Anaerobes were the predominant flora in septic abortion patients.
    • Bacteroides bivius was found in all patients.

  • Significant increase in anaerobic colonization and bacterial load in patients compared to controls.

    • Conclusions:

    • Anaerobic bacteria play a significant role in the etiology of septic abortion.
    • Bacteroides species are key pathogens in this condition.
    • Further research into anaerobic infections in obstetric complications is warranted.
