We performed this study to find out if there is an association between C. trachomatis infection and low birth weight(LBW) or prematurity.
Methods : The study included 98 premature or LBW infants... |

Purpose : Acinetobacter species are aerobic gram-negative rods that can be widely found in
nature and are a part of the normal flora of humans. The most clinical isolates of A. baumannii
reflect infection rather than colonization. Recent reports suggest that the organisms cause serious
and often fetal nosocomial infection such as ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Methods : From March to September 1998, we experienced thirty... |
