“…However, part of women colonized with UU would not develop disease, and routine treatment in these asymptomatic women for UU might result in antimicrobial resistance; therefore, clinicians are more difficult to make therapy decision for asymptomatic women. The infection rate of CT (10.20%) in the present study was lower than that in Iranian women (15%), but was similar to that in Shanghai (10.13%), southeast China. The proportion of women infected with NG in this study was within the range reported in a previous meta‐analysis (0.7%‐9.9%) .…”

Objectives Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) are highly prevalent worldwide and may lead to some genital diseases. The objective of this large‐scale study was to estimate the prevalence characteristics of UU, CT, and NG among women in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, China. Methods A total of 13 303 women who visited the gynecologic outpatient service of Taizhou First People's Hospital in Taizhou from 2013 to 2018 were analyzed. The testing of UU, CT, and NG was performed on the collected vaginal swabs using real‐time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) method. Results The overall infection rates of UU, CT, and NG were 62.04%, 10.20%, and 4.09% in the Taizhou‐based population, respectively. The age‐specific prevalence showed that younger women (age <25 years) were the preferred period for the positive detection of UU or CT, while elder women (age ≥40 years) had the highest prevalence of NG. In addition, the UU‐CT co‐infection pattern (7.32%) predominated in the study population, and CT was significantly associated with UU and NG. Conclusions Our novel data demonstrated that UU, CT, and NG infection are prevalent among women in Taizhou, and comprehensive UU, CT, and NG screening guidelines and treatment policies for this population are warranted.

“…The difference between the results of this study and our study is the simultaneous analysis of infection in the mother and neonate, as well as the use of two different methods for assessments. It should be noted that the results of this meta-analysis were based on the findings of previous studies on different samples, using different methods ( 20 ). Other studies have reported different results regarding the relationship between CT and preterm delivery ( 21 – 23 ).…”

Background and Objectives: Preterm delivery is an important subject in gynecology, obstetrics and pediatrics. It is defined as regular uterine contractions every five to eight minutes or less, lasting for 30 seconds. It is associated with progressive changes in the cervix, resulting in delivery after 22 weeks and before 37 weeks of gestation. This study aimed to evaluate the role of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in women with preterm delivery. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was performed on 75 women with preterm delivery (case group) and 75 women with term delivery (control group). The research tools included a questionnaire, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay of cervical swab samples and ELISA assay of umbilical cord blood samples. Fisher’s exact test and t test were also performed to compare qualitative variables between the two groups. Results: In this study, the mean age of subjects was 26.55 ± 0.53 years in the control group and 26.76 ± 0.56 years in the case group. The prevalence of C. trachomatis in the cervical swab samples was 7 (9.33%) in the control group and 2 (2.67%) in the case group. There was no C. trachomatis IgM antibody in either of the groups, while there was 1 (1.33%) C. trachomatis IgG antibody in both groups. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that there was no significant relationship between C. trachomatis infection and preterm delivery.

Acinetobacter baumannii is a major cause of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The high resistance of this bacterium to antibiotics makes its control and treatment difficult. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) A. baumannii isolated from patients with VAP. Indexed articles in international databases on MDR A. baumannii isolated from patients with VAP were reviewed in a period from 2011 to 2020. Articles with full text in English were included and review articles, abstracts, and articles in languages other than English were excluded from the study. A random effect model using Meta R software, version 2.13 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used for data analysis. The final prevalence of A. baumannii isolated from patients with VAP in the above-mentioned period was 0.38 (95% CI: 0.26–0.52). Higher and lower prevalence rates were observed in Asia (0.43 (95% CI: 0.42−0.44)) and Africa (0.10 (95% CI: 0.07−0.12)), respectively. The overall prevalence rates of MDR, extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and pan drug-resistant bacteria (PDR) A. baumannii were reported as 0.71 (95% CI: 0.59−0.81), 0.73 (95% CI: 0.52−0.90), and 0.40 (95% CI: 0.28−0.52), respectively. The total prevalence of A. baumannii in males (0.57 (95% CI: 0.48−0.65)) was higher than the prevalence in females (0.35 (95% CI: 0.28−0.42)). VAP was directly related to different years, continents, drug resistance, and gender (P < 0.0001). VAP has particular importance in the intensive care unit (ICU) and having standards for infection control as well as proper use of antibiotics is essential for the prevention of MDR A. baumannii.
