Amniotic fluids from women in West Virginia were evaluated for the presence of antibacterial activity by a bioassay technique. 41% of 32 third trimester samples were inhibitory. Evaluation of additional test organisms emphasized differences in susceptibility of various bacterial strains; two isolates of Escherichia coli were found which were more sensitive to the phosphate-sensitive antibacterial system of amniotic fluid than in the initial test organism. The stated prevalence of inhibition may therefore be considered a conservative estimate.
通过生物测定技术对西弗吉尼亚州女性的羊水进行抗菌活性评估。32份孕晚期样本中有41%具有抑制作用。对其他测试菌株的评估强调了不同细菌菌株敏感性的差异；发现两株大肠杆菌分离株对羊水的磷酸盐敏感抗菌系统比最初测试的菌株更敏感。因此，所述的抑制发生率可能被视为保守估计。
