The Role of Novel Organisms in Acute Endometritis

Completed

Conditions studied: Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

In brief

The goal of this project is to identify the microorganisms present in the endometrial samples obtained from women with or without evidence of endometritis using a combination of culture methods, rRNA sequencing and whole genomic sequencing. The overarching aim of these studies is to identify the etiology of endometritis. The investigators will define the role of fastidious anaerobic microorganisms in the etiology of PID, and assess whether antibiotic treatment regimens used for the treatment of PID have activity against the novel organisms linked with pelvic infections.
