Abstract

Intra-amniotic Leptotrichia buccalis has not been previously associated with adverse pregnancy outcome. We report a case of chorioamnionitis and pregnancy loss associated with this primarily oral commensal. We review Leptotrichia buccalis and other oral commensals that have been identified in cases of intraamniotic infection.
Keywords: Leptotrichia; pregnancy complication; chorioamnionitis; microbiome Leptotrichia; pregnancy complication; chorioamnionitis; microbiome
