Polymicrobial bacteremia in obstetric patients

G R Monif, H Baer

    Obstetrics and Gynecology
    |August 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Polymicrobial bacteremia in obstetric patients often involves Bacteriodeaceae, anaerobic streptococci, and Hemophilus vaginalis. Bacterial spectrum shifts occurred in some cases, highlighting dynamic infections.

    The Journal of experimental medicine·2009

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Polymicrobial bacteremia is a serious condition in obstetric patients.
    • Understanding the specific bacterial culprits is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on thirteen cases of polymicrobial bacteremia in obstetric patients.
    • To identify common bacterial combinations and observe spectrum changes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis.
    • Identification of bacterial isolates from blood cultures.
    • Monitoring of bacterial spectrum changes over time.

    Main Results:

    • Thirteen cases of polymicrobial bacteremia were identified.
    • Commonly isolated bacteria included Bacteriodeaceae, anaerobic streptococci, and Hemophilus vaginalis.
    • Significant changes in bacterial isolates were observed in three cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Bacteriodeaceae, anaerobic streptococci, and Hemophilus vaginalis are frequently involved in obstetric polymicrobial bacteremia.
    • Dynamic shifts in bacterial populations within the bloodstream can occur.
    • Further research into these specific microbial combinations and their clinical implications is warranted.
