The Role of the Vaginal Microbiome in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes: A Comprehensive Review of Mechanisms and Clinical Implications. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), a complication in approximately 4.5% of pregnancies, is a leading cause of preterm birth and significant perinatal morbidity. A substantial body of evidence implicates vaginal dysbiosis a departure from a healthy, Lactobacillus‐dominant microbiome in the pathogenesis of PPROM.

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

Journal 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 ...

More than just inflammation: Ureaplasma species induce apoptosis in human brain microvascular endothelial cells

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2019
Background Ureaplasma species (spp.) are commonly regarded as low-virulent commensals but may cause invasive diseases in immunocompromised adults and in neonates, including neonatal meningitis. The interactions of Ureaplasma spp.

Does Ureaplasma spp. cause chronic lung disease of prematurity: Ask the audience?

Early Human Development, 2009
Ureaplasma has long been implicated in the pathogenesis of both preterm labour and neonatal morbidity, particularly chronic lung disease of prematurity (CLD), but despite numerous studies, reviews and meta-analyses, its exact role remains unclear.
