We report the sequence of the Streptococcus pyogenes emm28 strain M28PF1, isolated from a patient with postpartum endometritis. The M28 protein is smaller than that of MGAS6180 (NC_007296.1). Furthermore, the 1,896,976-bp-long chromosome presents, compared to that of MGAS6180, an inversion between the two comX genes.

Introduction Diagnosis of infertility problems in the mare by sampling of material from the uterus was first described more than 85 years ago in Kentucky, USA and Germany (1,2). Uterine disease, primarily endometritis, is still one of the major causes for infertility in the mare and a substantial problem in the modern breeding industry (3). Uterine samples have mainly been used to diagnose infe...

Vibrio vulnificus most frequently causes wound infections contracted after exposure to seawater or primary septicemias resulting from the consumption of raw oysters. We report a case of endometritis caused by V. vulnificus. The infection was apparently acquired during the act of sexual intercourse in seawater in an area in which V. vulnificus has been frequently isolated. The efficacy of treatm...

Tuberculosis remains a global health problem, primarily in developing countries with inadequate health services. A significant portion of tuberculosis in these settings is extrapulmonary, including tuberculosis of the genitourinary tract. Patients with genital tuberculosis are usually young women detected during work up for infertility. After menopause, tuberculosis of the endometrium is a rare...

background: tuberculous endometritis is often a diagnostic dilemma for gynecologists in the evaluation of infertility. this study evaluated and compared different diagnostic methods in tuberculous endometritis. methods: 100 infertile women were investigated for tuberculous endometritis. the endometrial samples obtained by curettage were evaluated by ziehl-neelsen (zn) staining of the smears for...

The presence of more than 2 cm (height) of uterine fluid during estrus seems to be a predictor of susceptibility to postbreeding endometritis.

Chronic endometritis (CE) is a condition involving the breakdown of the peaceful co-existence between microorganisms and the host immune system in the endometrium. A majority of CE cases produce no noticeable signs or mild symptoms, and the prevalence rate of CE has been found to be approximately 10%. Gynecologists and pathologists often do not focus much clinical attention on CE due to the tim...

Samples from the uterus have mainly been used for diagnosing infertility and endometritis by bacterial culture 4, 5 , cytology 6,5 and histology. 7 The combined use of cytology and bacteriology as an aid to the diagnosis of endometritis was initially proposed more than 20 years ago. 8 The finding of polymorph nuclear cells (PMN ́s) in a sample shows the mare is suffering from an endometrial infl...
