[Investigations on the occurrence of mycoplasma in the amniotic fluid (author's transl)]. 1976

E R Weissenbacher, and W Bredt, and W Jonatha, and V Zahn

In order to elucidate the pathogenetic importance of mycoplasma in amnionitis and in infectious syndrome of the amnion, the amniotic fluid of 185 healthy pregnant women was investigated for mycoplasma, bacteria and fungi. In no case mycoplasma were detected. This means that amniotic fluid is normally free of mycoplasma. If mycoplasma occurs in the amniotic fluid it has to be considered as a possible cause of amnionitis and infectious syndrome of the amnion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009174 Mycoplasma A genus of gram-negative, mostly facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the family MYCOPLASMATACEAE. The cells are bounded by a PLASMA MEMBRANE and lack a true CELL WALL. Its organisms are pathogens found on the MUCOUS MEMBRANES of humans, ANIMALS, and BIRDS.

D000650 Amnion The innermost membranous sac that surrounds and protects the developing embryo which is bathed in the AMNIOTIC FLUID. Amnion cells are secretory EPITHELIAL CELLS and contribute to the amniotic fluid. Amniotic Membrane,Amnions,Amniotic Membranes,Membrane, Amniotic,Membranes, Amniotic
D000653 Amniotic Fluid A clear, yellowish liquid that envelopes the FETUS inside the sac of AMNION. In the first trimester, it is likely a transudate of maternal or fetal plasma. In the second trimester, amniotic fluid derives primarily from fetal lung and kidney. Cells or substances in this fluid can be removed for prenatal diagnostic tests (AMNIOCENTESIS).
