Genomic identification and characterization of Streptococcus oralis group that causes intraamniotic infection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intraamniotic infection is a cause of spontaneous preterm labor. Streptococcus mitis is a common pathogen identified in intraamniotic infection, with the possible route of hematogenous dissemination from the oral cavity or migration from the vaginal canal. However, there are a few reports on Streptococcus oralis, a member of the S. mitis group, as a cause of pathogen in intraamniotic infection. We reported herein whole genome sequencing and comparative genomic analysis of S. oralis strain RAOG5826 that causes intraamniotic infection.

Results

Streptococcus mitis was initially identified from amniotic fluid, vaginal swab, and fetal blood of a patient presenting with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes with intraamniotic infection by the use of conventional microbi
