spp. has been shown to form biofilms when exposed to copper, possibly enhancing its degradation. Fragmentation and migration of the copper coil on an intrauterine device (IUD) is rare, but the concomitant presence of spp. may increase its incidence. We present the first case of a fragmented copper IUD within its lifespan of 10 years, with documented genitourinary tract colonization in a premenopausal woman.
已显示当暴露于铜时,某物种会形成生物膜,这可能会增强其降解。宫内节育器(IUD)上铜线圈的断裂和迁移很少见,但该物种的同时存在可能会增加其发生率。我们报告了首例在10年使用寿命内铜IUD断裂的病例,该病例记录了一名绝经前女性泌尿生殖道有该物种定植。
