The findings clearly demonstrated the antimicrobial effect of both the amniotic and chorionic membranes against the tested bacterial and fungal pathogens at different dilutions by their maximum and minimum inhibitory zones. The maximum inhibition zone was measured in amniotic membrane compared to chorionic membrane in both the bacterial and fungal activity plates. While assessing the four different dilutions (5X10, 5X10, 5X10 and 5X10), the similar diameter of inhibition zone was observed in 1.5X10 and 1.5X10 dilutions. The study clearly confirmed the antimicrobial activity effect of both amniotic and chorionic membranes against several bacterial and fungal pathogens in which maximum activity was recorded by amniotic membrane.

Antimicrobial Properties of Amniotic and Chorionic Membranes: A Comparative Study of Two Human Fetal Sacs
BACKGROUND There is evidence of antibacterial properties of human chorioamniotic layer. However, the distinctive contribution of its individual parts, amniotic and chorionic membranes, to these effects is still unknown. The aim of present study was comparison of the antibacterial effects between amniotic and chorionic membranes. METHODS Chorioamniotic layer was removed from placenta belonging...

متن کاملA Paediatric Perspective on Stem Cells: Expression, Function and Clinical Relevance
In the last ten years, placenta, fetal membranes (i.e. amnion and chorion), and amniotic fluid have been extensively investigated as a potential non-controversial source of stem cells. They are usually discarded after delivery and are accessible during pregnancy through amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling [1] Several populations of cells with multi-lineage differentiation potential and ...
متن کاملHormone release by primary amniotic fluid cell cultures.
Amniotic fluid cells have been widely used in prenatal diagnosis; however, there is great heterogeneity of the cells and their origin. In this study we analyze the karyotype and release of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), human chorionic somatomammotropin (hCS), free estriol (E 3), prolactin (PRL) and progesterone (P) of amniotic fluid cells from primary cultures of six normal and two anence...
