Abstract

- Microorganisms associated with bacterial vaginosis are commonly recovered from the amniotic fluid and chorion-amnion of patients who deliver prematurely. Bacteria closely related to those causing bacterial vaginosis may play a role in the initiation of uterine contractions, ripening of the cervix and weakening of the fetal membranes by stimulating prostaglandin synthesis. In the present investigation, cervical mucus was collected by brush from early pregnant women with and without bacterial vaginosis. The concentrations of PGE2, PGF2 alpha and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha were determined in the mucus samples by methyl oximation and then radioimmunoassay, utilizing antibodies raised against oximated prostaglandins. It was found that the concentration of PGE2 and PGF2 alpha was significantly higher in the mucus of women with bacterial vaginosis compared with healthy women. The concentration of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha was similar in both study groups. All patients had been instructed to abstain from sexual intercourse for 24 hours before sampling. However, it may be that women with high concentrations in their mucus may have had intercourse anyway. However, it is fairly well possible that the significant differences in the PGE2 and PGF2 alpha values are causally related to the higher rate of preterm labor in women with the commonplace infection of bacterial vaginosis.
