Waddlia chondrophila is an intracellular bacterium suspected to cause human and bovine abortion. We confirmed an association between antibodies against W. chondrophila and human miscarriage and identified this organism in placenta or genital tract of women who had had miscarriages. These results suggest a possible role of W. chondrophila infection in miscarriage.
嗜软骨沃氏菌是一种疑似可导致人类和牛流产的细胞内细菌。我们证实了抗嗜软骨沃氏菌抗体与人类流产之间的关联,并在流产女性的胎盘或生殖道中发现了这种微生物。这些结果表明嗜软骨沃氏菌感染在流产中可能起作用。
