Unlocking insights: Validating a comprehensive model for predicting spontaneous preterm delivery and microbial invasion in women facing preterm labor

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Preterm labor is a multifactorial syndrome with diverse etiologies such as infection, inflammation, uteroplacental dysfunction, stress, and immune dysregulation. Identifying women at high risk remains a challenge, and multivariate prediction models have been developed to enhance risk stratification.

Detection of lipoglycans in ureaplasmas [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1985
Serotypes 3, 4, and 8 of Ureaplasma urealyticum were found to contain lipoglycans. Although the ratios of their components differed, all contained neutral sugars, fatty acids, glycerol, and phosphorus. All three became labeled when the organisms were cultivated in the presence of [14C]glucose, [14C]palmitic or [14C]oleic acids, and inorganic 32P.

Ureaplasma-driven inhibition of the epithelial Na+ transport in fetal alveolar cells: A novel mechanism of Ureaplasma-mediated preterm lung disease.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens
Respiratory tract colonization with Ureaplasma species has been repeatedly associated with the development of acute and long-term pulmonary morbidity in preterm infants. However, despite strong evidence from observational studies and animal models, apart

Novel insights into neuroinflammation: bacterial lipopolysaccharide, tumor necrosis factor α, and Ureaplasma species differentially modulate atypical chemokine receptor 3 responses in human brain microvascular endothelial cells

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2018
Background Atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3, synonym CXCR7) is increasingly considered relevant in neuroinflammatory conditions, in which its upregulation contributes to compromised endothelial barrier function and may ultimately allow inflammatory ...

Ureaplasma and Prevotella colonization with Lactobacillus abundance during pregnancy facilitates term birth

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Ureaplasma and Prevotella infections are well-known bacteria associated with preterm birth. However, with the development of metagenome sequencing techniques, it has been found that not all Ureaplasma and Prevotella colonizations cause preterm birth. The

Microbial Culture Profiles Following Fetal Surgery Versus Spontaneous Preterm Prelabor Rupture of Membranes in Multifetal Gestations

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To assess microbial culture profiles and antibiotic resistance patterns in pregnancies complicated by preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) following fetal surgery compared with spontaneous PPROM without fetal surgery. Method This retrospective cross‐sectional study included women with multiple pregnancies and PPROMs < 34 ...

Association of Elevated C‐Reactive Protein in Term Newborns With Neonatal Factors and Gut Microbiota

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Plasma C‐reactive protein (CRP) is widely used to assess neonatal infection, although mild, unexplained elevations are common in healthy newborns. We examined relationships between non‐infectious CRP levels and neonatal factors, and early gut microbiota composition in term infants.

Sexually Transmitted Infection Prevalence and Determinants Among Sexual Health Clinic Attendees in Bucharest, Romania

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Cross‐sectional study among 70 sexual health clinic attendees (70% MSM) in Bucharest combining multisite STI testing with knowledge, attitudes, and practices assessment. Key findings include 35.5% bacterial STI prevalence, essential extragenital testing, and cost barriers to screening uptake.

Ascending infection of Gardnerella spp. and compartmentalized inflammatory response in fetal–maternal interface organ‐on‐chip model

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The fetal–maternal interface organ‐on‐chip was used to investigate the ascending infection of Gardnerella spp. across the decidua (DEC), chorion trophoblast (CTC), amnion mesenchymal (AMC) and amnion epithelial (AEC) compartments over 48 h.

Maternal infection in the context of actively managed prelabor rupture of membranes at term: An observational study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 175, Issue 1, Page 322-327, October 2026.
Abstract Objective To assess maternal infection following prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM) at term in a setting where active management is recommended, and to identify associated risk factors. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted including pregnant women admitted to a Portuguese tertiary care center where immediate induction of labor ...
